The True Teacher...

The true Teacher removes all names and
forms and concepts.

The preacher adds
them like a noose around your neck.

The preacher clings to you like a vulture
clings to a fresh corpse.

The true Teacher
will teach only to the extent that can be
absorbed,

and then send the student away.


- Papaji
