Maybe the solution would be for the master to promote his or her sadhana as a single element one adds to one's daily routine, rather than insisting students give up this behavior or adopt that one. Teaching, say, a meditation technique alone, without all the concomitant lifestyle stuff - diets, sexual protocols and such - would free the master from having to exemplify the ideal lifestyle. But what master has ever taken such a tack? It would be bold indeed.
