And this was "the quintessence of spiritual practice"? (Please note, in context I was *not* suggesting that he never said anything along these lines, merely that it wasn't what was taught, explicitly or implicitly, to rank-and-filers.) I wasn't there, of course, but just from your quote I wouldn't be sure he was referring to attuning yourselves to his thinking in any case, so much as that eventually you would all be in the same state of consciousness he was.
