Guru Gita
106
Lusty, furious, violent, heinous adamant.
Ignorant, duty avoider, angersome,sinners,
Are never worthy for Guru Darshan.
Shiva spread a list of the bad quality people who are never worth for the sight of a guru as above. If you come in contact of them, they will destroy you to hell.
Any bad qualities drives you away from God. The story of Jadabharatha in Bhagavatham is an example. Bharatha was a hermit to the level of a Maharshi (Great Sage who was set in self realisation). One day he saves a deer calf and brings it to his Hermitage. In the following days, his sadhna (spiritual practice) began to diminish and he prefered to care and love the deer. The fallen saint at the time of his death, died with great concern for the deer. He departed looking it in great grief. In his rebirth, he has the knowledge of his previous birth. So he decided not to respond to anything to escape any fall from his practice. He acted as dumb to continue sadhana. He did whatever he was asked to do. One day he was asked for carrying a palanquin of a king, and a situation compelled him to talk to the king. The king realised his spiritual greatness and prostates in his feet. JadaBharatha explained his failure to get liberation due to his attachment to the deer. As JadaBharatha's identity is exposed he leaves to seclusion in forest for thapasya and attained moksham.
The story shows, even attachment due to compassion cause obstruction to attainment of God. Therefore destroy all your bad habits, company; become detached and become pure to get liberation.
