Such positioning seems akin to boasting about the size of anatonomical features. It appears to be an attribute of a needy ego. And maybe an acknowledgement: "I am so screwed up, I need only the highest, best, most powerful shakti-rocking, huge aura, powerful teacher."
In contrast, it seems that some who are living spirituality, naturally, don't require BIG teachers, or even any teachers. Perhaps if one is seeking bragging rights (a paradox, indeed), they would brag about how enlightened they got from a really lowly teacher. Sort of like making it big, when born into meager circumstances. In contrast to those born with a silver spoon in thier mouth (~"great teacher") who can barely tie their shoe laces. Given that most/many roads lead to appreciating infinity in all beings and things, what does it say about an aspirant who can't see infinity in any number of spiritual teachers. Not only can't see THAT, but in some cases, can see only low things. (Projection?). If the easiest bridge cannot be crossed, (seeing infinity when it is "dripping" off a teacher), how far a bridge to see infinity in unpleasant people? (Thats why this list is such a joy to provide such bridges.) ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Great things are happening at Yahoo! Groups.
