If we have no teacher or the teacher is not available, we can still teach ourselves by being good students. Any outer teacher will only push us to the inner teacher, which is the Self. Teachings are anyhow but an introduction to a subject that we can only really master through our own experience and practice. If we see ourselves as a work in progress and do the work, then progress is assured. Once we have found a practice that really suits us, we focus entirely on mastering it. The intellectual game of understanding is then replaced by real spiritual progress, which happens in the subconscious. When we accept our basic ignorance, but love the teachings, we can receive insights also through spiritual connection. That way we become part of the eternal, universal and original path of Sanatan Dharma, in which the student/teacher leela is resolved.    00:00:00   1. Why do we need a Teacher ?  00:10:04   2.
