I think the distinction has to be made here that whether a guru is the "real thing" or not has a lot to do with the karma/dharma between the student and a particular guru. Some people experience the infinite radiating from some gurus/teachers and others think that people that say such things about that particular guru are crazy. For me MMY has always been a profound catalyst for triggering deep experiences of consciousness. He therefore functions in a guru role for me. Now SSRS is in that role and has the same effect on me as MMY used to. Other gurus I've seen don't have that effect on me. It doesn't mean they can't function as a guru for somebody else, just not me. MMY is the real thing....for me. His surface behavior ultimately means nothing. > > _________ > * "genuine Zen Master" -- well, what did I know?
