The relationship between the teacher and the taught — first of all, when a person begins to look for a spiritual teacher, there are certain things to be very careful about. One, I have already mentioned that if a spiritual teacher says, “You are a wonderful person, you are an angel; you are the greatest thing on earth”, then you have to suspect the teacher because he is only flattering you; he is not taking you anywhere. You have come to change; you have come to find out; do you want to remain where you are, in that same image, be pampered and flattered?
