Not sure if you were addressing Vaj or G (me); but from my perspective, I follow the advice given by HH the Dalai Lama: examine your teacher, even if it takes you 12 years. When I (G) say "real" spiritual master, I mean someone who has demonstrated his own achievements to my questioning, skeptical mind and then laid out for me what I have to do if I want to get there. Then, I try it (complete with bitching and stupid questions) and see what happens. Something I learned from MMY/MCS: others may notice something before you do. That's not altogether off track. I take the remarks of others with the proverbial grain of sodium chloride -- but a home truth or two isn't always amiss, one way or another. G ------------------------ Yahoo!
