The spiritual aspirants are divided into two main categories. One pertains to those, who have realized the futility of pursuing the spiritual goal on their own. They would seek the refuge of an enlightened Guru so as to get on the right path of liberation. The term used for them is Mumukshu, which literally means a liberation seeker. They are obviously truth seekers.
The other category relates to those, who are engrossed in self-indulgence and cling to their own viewpoints. They would consider the beliefs and rituals of their particular sect as right ones. They would also try to understand the Lords' precepts according to their own concepts. Such people are called Matärthi or sectarian. Since the approach of the worldly soul has remained perverted since infinity due to his indulgence in worldly aspects, it is not possible for him to get to the right path on his own. A sectarian does not realize his inability to correctly make out what has been stated by the Lords. As such, he is prone to draw wrong conclusions. The characteristics of such sectarians are impartially described in the next chapter.
