It requires persons with independent thinking and who need them now? There are so much troubles with them, and it also requires much higher degree of qualification of that person, who wants to teach them something. They always ask so many tricky questions, and it seems they never satisfied with any answer given. And they so much absorbed in jnana intead of pure bhakti. That's why we are looking not for them, but for "Dancing White Elephants". If you have a good sharp stick, they quickly learn how to behave properly. Somehow one story came into my mind: There was one blind man, who was milking his cow every day, until once he found that it was not a cow, but a bull. You may guess what the milk was made of.
