The other thing is, a spiritual path is by definition intensely personal, and one's efforts can really not be accurately judged by another. We proceed as fast as we are able to. Its not like going through medical school, for example. With regard to a loyalty test by a guru, whatever guru, we first have to assume that the test has value to us, to buy into it. So from the outside, any judgments of another's spiritual path are meaningless.
