' The Teacher and the Preacher '...

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.
