It's not spot on at all! Let's investigate this interpretation: The sentence as MMY said it is totally in line with the great bulk of Hindu scriptures. As such, being in no way specific to himself, or the image he wants to create of himself for posteriority. Yet it is this interpretation Irmeli feels called to and advises us to see. But the way she(he?) put it is not neutral at all. Instead of writting MIGHT in capital letters, she writes REALLY in capital letters, as if she had some secret of background knowledge. It is certainly NOT what MMY has wanted to be understood, This is putting meaning into other peoples mouth, without knowing what their intention was. And its dishonest. I usually would desregard such a post, but I use it as an example - in all politeness - for what we have just been discussing. What I object to is the suggestive phrasing, putting REALLY in capitals, and saying *clear* language, as if the more spiritual meaning is unclear. Now, please show me one Indian teacher, that is traditional teacher, not JK, who says critizing ones Guru would be a good thing.
