It is generally understood in this game that progress only comes through suffering. And I always say to my students: 'If you look back at the formative events in your life then it's unlikely that you would have chosen any of them at the time.' Progress always has to be forced upon us. And it's the same with the teaching. The teacher seduces the student in with false promises and downright lies, and then, when they least suspect it, springs upon them a teaching from which they will never find rest or peace. As we say, it's not the student that finds the teaching but the teaching that finds the student.
