Which Master? Thoughts about Spiritual Teachers by T Newfields

Which satguru
do you want to see –

The one flying a helicopter
Driving a Mercedes Benz AMG
& smiling coyly on TV?

Or the one meditating deeply
In union with Lord Shiva
while embracing new discoveries?

Which spiritual teacher
seems more true –

The one selling sacred trinkets
living as an ashram celebrity
& marketing pseudo-scientific beliefs?

Or the one who always remains
within an unseen sanctum -
intent on Only One Thing?

Each of these scenarios
might seem "true"
in ashram communities

Perhaps what we see
depends on our preconceptions
& how we interpret the contractions
about those crazy enough
to teach.
