Teacher-Student (March 1996)

I recently came across this passage from my personal journal of some years ago:

“It is good to enjoy the personal company and consciousness of my Teacher for inspiration and renewal. It is also deeply refreshing, rejuvenating and creatively inspiring to quiet down in the peacefulness of this moment, alone.”

Spiritual teachers who insist their students become strong and responsibly independent (and the sooner the better!) are the finest preceptors we can hope to attract.

Spiritual teachers are quickening agents, sparking growth in receptive students.
