The Difference between Spiritual Teachers

What is the difference between you and other Indian teachers?

In the case of many Indian teachers, the teacher has one particular method, which has worked for him or her. But they insist that it is the only way. It is "The One Way." All the students who come, they give them that same prescription!

Those teachers, they don't consider that each student, each person, is something special on the earth. Each of us are different. Unique, individual, special. There are no duplicates!

It is like in the ecology. All species are necessary. I do not try to change a baby bird into a horse. If I meet a baby swan, I do not tell him how to become a good horse! I give him a little bread crumbs and suggest to him where to find some water.

You can choose your own path. You should, or you are wasting your uniqueness.

I have studied widely, I know many paths. Whatever path a student wants to use, to make for him or herself, I can give them some suggestions for their next steps on their path.

I am not traditional, like many Indian teachers. They say that you have to do certain things or go to hell. For me, hell doesn't exist. If this universe is created by God, if God is divine, how could he create hell? If we are all children of God, how could any of us go to hell? If God is divine, then if there were hell, hell would be divine too.

There is a saying, "God doesn't make junk." I say, "It doesn't make junkyards either."

There is no one single way. There are as many ways as there are people.
