There is almost no teacher, no true enlightened teacher I mean, - who presents things always in all fields exactly as they are. Since I was looking for a teacher, I happened to meet several. It seems to me unequivocally this is the situation.
The reasons are two: - The limitations of the listeners’ faith and understanding. People will not hear, sometimes, what they may not believe or what they would be unable to understand. The practical situation, may be, - that in reality one might not hear what basically he should, because another, who is also there, lacks in his trust of what is being said or in his spiritual ability of grasping certain things. For me personally this situation is sometimes terribly annoying. Sometimes not. Osho, for example, is terribly different from Yakusan. (Yakusan Igen, Yueshan Weiyan) And times are different too, today many things are difficult to say, and the further the audience a teacher wishes to address, - the narrower may be the limitations implied.
So far. I’ll drop it at that. I might just mention this post. And say the face of things may sometimes seem terribly ugly, particularly when things get emotional, even when true teachers spread their teaching in this world, - where ignorance is apparently incomparable and the emotional state of many (particularly today) touching ridiculousness.
So far.
