God takes up a human form of true saint or Sat-Guru and tries to help seekers of truth and worshipers.
Such seekers are in minority (one in 1,00000).
All of them do not end being saints.
Likelihood of one being a true saint is one in billion.
These saints are born in families who have been devotes for 21 generations. All the forefathers practice spirituality. They inculcate high values in their heir such as truth, honesty, selflessness, kindness, respect towards great saints and devotion to God: a master of universe.
These saintly persons are thus different than other human babies and children of their age during their childhood. They are smart, intelligent, kind, generous, selfless and seekers right from very early age. They see limitations of ordinary school education system in "not" answering their spiritual quest.
During their pre-adolescent stage they come to know that all worldly things are finite and are incapable of providing eternal happiness and peace.
They prefer solitude and are not afraid of demons, witches, darkness, poverty, aloneness, evil spirits etc.
They seek truth: a source of eternal happiness and peace and are desperate to find it: the God within.
As their devotion progresses, they reach a point when a Sat-Guru: a highly evolved spirit visits this new disciple and indoctrinates him/her into deep devotion. The Sad-Guru supervises progress of his chosen disciple and leads him till he becomes totally submerged into God. Its a death of "self" which is perceived other than God by common people.
Ordinary people are incapable of practicing the ordeals these true disciples undergo and the higher states they experience.
The mind and bodies of saints are well equipped to sustain certain hard tests.

I agree completely. But what about some of the 'hypocrites' like Sri Sri Ravishankar or Asaram Bapu or Swami Nityanand who are misguiding the common people and taking them for ransom by taking advantage of thier trust or faith in such Sadhus? Who will tarnish their image in public? When will they be 'punished' by the God or Law of Nature??
Thank you for your response, Sandz.
I understand your anguish and your good selfless intention of saving lot of blind devotees from wasting their time.
I learned from my Sad-Guru that one needs to be a saint to recognize another person as saint. He further recommended that instead of proving any other person wrong, one needs to spend spare time in devotion to God. One can start doing those things, which He approves. He further guides us saying that one needs to look for dirt inside and cleanse one's own mind of greed - attachment/addiction to what we wish to have and anger/revenge/self-harm for which we cannot have as its side effects.
I find it soothing. It keeps me grounded. I try to help myself by diverting my attention from blaming others (a die hard habit)..to cleansing myself. It cools me down and keeps me focused on myself.
