Giving your view on the Gurus and choosing a spiritual teacher than them, I like your opinion on that. You said something which I also like here
Some people just have this egoless, unassuming, compassionate vibe about them, they have a kind of way of going about their lives which is quiet, and involves just 'getting on with it' - helping others, living ethically, doing no harm, sticking to all of those tenets of The Buddha's Noble Eight Fold Path, just living a spiritual life
Sincerely, these are the perfect qualities we need to watch out for in a spiritual teacher because when we have someone we are actually taking their steps, and they themselves aren't practicing what they are teaching, it definitely is a slap on them.
Thanks for sharing your thought on this.
