the dangers of guru-disciple devotion

very interesting account of travels and experiences with ‘gurus’ in india.

the article is consistent with the osho discussion at taobums. and is a very good example of what can happen when one cultivates their higher centers while neglecting the lower centers.
Michaels’ analogy of the ‘top heavy’ sunflower without roots is very pertinent indeed.
Another reason why taoist emphasis on working from the bottom up is so important.
