For long it has been embedded into the mind of the people that this world is fake and for any seeker of Truth, the first thing is to leave the world, break all connections with this "Sinner" world and hide back into the seclude, and that has been made a pre-condition for gaining enlightenment. Anyone who is quite induldged in the world, and claims to be a sadhaka of Truth is laughed at and not taken seriously. And any idiot, who ran away from the world, may be due to his cowardice, is treated as a saint by common public. A gauge for saintlyhood is how much a saint is rejecting the world, its pleasures and its joys and its relations. I think, most of the rishis, failed to solve the mystery of the Universe and since they could not find any connection between soul and matter....they took it for granted that the Supreme God is somewhere beyond this universe, and to get to him it is necessary to reject the false Maya of the world. And they were not wrong completely. Only they were imperfect. The great saints, like Buddha,Mahavira, Ramana Maharishi, Shankracharya etc. confirmed this belief. Only 2/3 examples (Like Tagore, Sri Aurobindo and Rajneesh) addressed the problem correctly. It is very imperfect to think soul and matter are two different ideas. Tantra is the only path which does not reject world as Maya....it is the only discipline which beautifully connects the soul with matter and vice-versa. And as Uma pointed out, it is as foolish to think that MY way is the only way. The Excellence can not be bound to one book, to one person, to one idea, to one religion, to one cult...if it can be, it is not Excellence. The integration of all ideas, all philosophies, all Truths together do not form Excellence en-toto.....that still remains a tiny part of the supreme. But like a small child we get our hands on a piece of Truth and strart declaring ourselves to be the only saviours of the mankind!!! and God must be laughing at us....we serve his purpose...he wished to laugh at himself...that z why he made humans !!!
