The answers simple: we were never told the story in the first place.

One thing I expect from a teacher is for him or her to share their 
story--not necessarily the details of their personal life, but the 
important parts of their own spiritual life. Where they learned 
teachings, what they learned, what they'll share and what they won't; 
who they learned it from and what that meant to them -- their own 
experiences of the View, the Path and the Goal.

I really think these are normal things to expect. It's only in the 
spiritual supermarket or where there's something to hide (or both) that 
we are deprived. When these things are lacking, one will always be left 
wondering why these things are missing.
