Spiritual teaching - why we are hesitant to accept it
Few people have an understanding or even an intimation of the role a spiritual master can play in guiding their destiny. They do not want to know all that a moral and philosophical teaching could do to rectify, improve and harmonize their lives, because they tell themselves that with such a teaching they would no longer have any peace. It would endlessly emphasize their weaknesses and the danger of the paths on which they often embark. If they failed to follow the rules, they would feel guilty, and this they could not tolerate. It is a pity, because with this attitude they will face far greater suffering and restraints than those they would endure if they followed the recommendations of a master.
