The teacher-student relationship is based on a shared aim — your awakening to the mystery of being. It is not based on mutual profit or on emotional connection. The responsibilities of a teacher are three:
- To show you the possibility of presence
- To train you in the techniques and methods you will need
- To direct your attention to the reactive patterns that prevent you from being present in your life
- To practice what is taught as it is given
- To apply the practice in your life
