The following gem might just possibly free up considerable 'baggage' for both teacher and student. What do you think?
The work of the spiritual teacher is like the
work of Cupid. The work of Cupid is to bring
two souls together; and so is the work of the
spiritual teacher: to bring together the soul and
God. But what is taught to the one who seeks
after truth? Nothing is taught. He is only shown
how he should learn from God. For no man
can ever teach spirituality; it is God alone who
teaches it.

I like this one:
"YOU are the teacher you have always been looking for." Byron Katie
Kapila, I think you're right.
Hazrat Inayat Khan has a beautiful and poetic way of expressing himself, doesn't he? I often prefer plain speech because the floweriness can conceal a shallow insight, but with him it's all part of the music he makes ...
Thanks for that.
