Spiritual people think they are not important and do all they can to help the Teacher . Important people create unending problems and pile trash on the path of the Teacher to keep him from his most important labor.
The Teacher is often kept busy with consequences of his students gossip, slander, fights,ego,vanity, and personality problems. Eventually he becomes a baby sitter or a problem solving machine instead of one who applies himself to teaching and enlightening people. How can the Teacher teach you when you are engaged in the trash of your vanity and ego?
Some people think that they can teach other people only if those people are ready.This is an excuse to hide their weaknesses.People are always ready to be led to light if the right teacher is present. Often it is the so-called teacher who is not ready when others do not care for his teaching.Once the Techer is ready, students will be attracted to him by natural law. Bees go to honey;deer go to water; students go to the Teacher-if he is a True One.
