The Fool wrote:Yes, even beliefs in true masters. Good point Tiff, as always. And i say it again : ever-fresh women's wisdom What i meant by a true master is one whose intent is only to help you to be free or i should say to help you realize that what you truly are is ever-free.I agree, and happy to see you responding this way because I said at the time I posted that it sounds like I'm confronting Fool, lol. I really wasn't...not that much, I just figured if you were really walking the walk you woudl not find my question offensive.
I too have a great respect for the teachers who follow the teachings, as you say, the true masters. We can recognize them by their adherence to the teachings. And because they adhere to the teachings, they help us to be free, of even them, via such teachings. So the focus is always on the teachings, not the teachers. We may call them true masters out of respect, but they are not expecting it or even suggesting or wanting it because its about freedom.
