"Imitation is a spiritual dead-end; true liberation arises not from following a map, but from discovering your unique, present-moment responsiveness."

By refusing fixed doctrines and living moment-to-moment, he forces seekers to stand on their own feet. Liberation comes not by following a map, but by discovering your unique, present-moment responsiveness.
Don’t copy a guru; find your own way by listening inside and responding freshly each moment.
