The mistake that the New Age Gurus make is to try to create wealth and worldly success.
Jesus said, "You cannot serve God and wealth." Luke 16:13b (NRSV)
In running after worldly success and money the New Age Gurus gain plenty of followers but it never really works.
This is because they mistake the purpose of life.
Life is not about achievements and money and possessions.
They will not make you happy.
Life is about Love - our relationships, and our relationship with God.
They are blind.
They call their methods spirituality but spirituality has nothing to do with achieving goals or accumulating wealth.
Spirituality is about developing spiritual qualities like love, compassion, charity, gratefulness, courage, integrity, honesty, truthfulness, harmlessness, gentleness, kindness, and faith.
Jesus said that the way of the world was evil.
"You cannot serve God and wealth." Luke 16:13b (NRSV)
