Very well put. Reminds me of my feelings of confusion of the section ‘The business of Yoga’ during my yoga certification. Made sense though in that to enable gurus to help more people, funds are needed. There is also more value placed on what we pay for.

Keeping that in mind and trusting my gut, enables me to be more selective in who to spend precious time or money on. Like any business, there will be cons.

Last year I went back reading various scriptures and spending more time in nature.  They say a students guru will come when the student is ready. I am still waiting also.
