I have to quibble language here, having had a short (two days) interaction with her. At least at that time, she was adamant that she does *nothing* to "trigger" awakening in those who sit satsang with her. That is, she doesn't zap them with kundalini or darshan or flying woo woo rays or any of the things that lazy seekers would like teachers to do. She's just good at interacting with the seeker to point out the realization that is already present. That said, the awakening that many experience is often temporary. I don't consider that a bad thing, because it later becomes permanent as they become more comfortable with their own realization. > That probably depends a lot on them.
