Everyone's looking for the perfect teacher, 

but although their teachings might be divine, teachers are all too human, and that's something people find all too hard to accept. 

Don't confuse the teacher with the lesson, the ritual with the ecstasy, the transmitter of the symbol with the symbol itself.

 our encounter with the forces of life and not with the people who bring this about.

Pity those who seek for shepherds, instead of longing for freedom!
