Would you expect to send your kid to a piano teacher and not expect to pay? What about going to a psychologist? A doctor? Lawyer? Where does this idea come from that says spiritual teachers don't need to pay the bills like everybody else? If someone asks me a question and I can answer it quickly and succinctly, that's one thing. But what about when someone wants a teacher to spend hours and days and weeks and months and years instructing them in one thing or another? Is that fair to the teacher OR to the student?
