Namaste Renuka ji,
If one is not ready, that we think as 'helpful' might be a disastrous. We are not able to judge and hence there is a culture of respecting saints. Even names of babies were given by rishis. Our culture and knowledge was not given to everybody. That is why in all prakarana granthas and in gita and in upanishads, 'per-requisites' are given. else such statements would not have been there. We cant judge people, but saints were considered to be highly evolved and possessing 'divya-drishti'. Hence this task was left to saints.
We do give chance and user-friendly approach. We have ramayana, mahabharata, puranas and dharma smritis. For kali yuga it is said that parashara smriti is considered appropriate. Kanchi Paramacharya says that puranas talk like a friend. Rules, regulations, restrictions, etc are all there for the good of all. For global harmony. Distribution of work to certain class of people by judging their qualities is also there for a reason. 'Free culture' is not good. Mind should be kept under control. It should be turned towards God. Faith should be our armour.
All we have to do is understand things in right context. Masses look for leaders. They emolate great ones. Buddha, Adi Sankara, Ramanuja, Madhva, GYAndeva, all were men of lofty character. People do not follow grammar and polemic debates. they look for inspiration which they get from men of noble, lofty character. They are just pulled towards a great personality, just like small magnet is naturally pulled towards bigger stronger magnet.
OM
