Maybe you just rely on preconceived ideas.

I rely on what I see. I see men with beards, sitting, displaying the content of their thoughts. What do you see?

Everything I see and hear.

Then surely you hear and see a man sitting, bearded, displaying the content of his thought. Or do you see ideas? Spirituality? Wisdom? Truth?

I do not see or hear a man displaying the content of his thought or his ideas.

Every spirituality is whatever they want it to be.

If you want your spirituality to be a costume, go for it.

I want mine to be a nudist colony located between shame and shamelessness.

Are the Gurus concerned with spirit? Do you see them concerned with anything called spirit? Or are they concerned with and displaying the content of their own thoughts?

There is not a 'thing' called spirit - the immaterial.
