Bhagavan: " He who instructs an ardent seeker to do this or that is not a true master. The seeker is already afflicted by his activities and wants peace and rest. In other words he wants cessation of his activities. If a teacher tells him to do something in addition to, or place of, his other activities, can there be a help to the seeker? Activity is creation. Activity is the destruction of one's inherent happiness. If activiy is advocated the adviser is not a master but a killer. In such circumstances either the creator [brahma] or death [Yama] may be said to have come in the guise of a master. Such a person cannot liberate the aspirant, he can only strengthen his fetters.
