In other words, sure some people are fake, but the benefits and advantages - if one is fortunate enough to meet a real teacher - can be invaluable. Although, I've also heard it said, it takes one to know one. Without or with a teacher, spiritual work needs to continue, I guess.

Whenever one has provoked themselves into focussing on the person rather than the issues, its a sure sign that a delicate belief has been threatened.
