Why can't I become enlightened when I follow an enlightened person?

There was a person called Chilli Baba. He was only eating chillies. What if you copied him and ate only chillies?

Obviously, You will only become sick.

Similarly there was another Sage who drank only Sugar water. What will happen if you start taking sugar water?

There was another person who was never eating, drinking and sleeping. If you also behave like him, what will happen?

You cannot copy anyone and become enlightened. Every person has their own path.
