Personally I see no problem charging for instruction time, the problem is more along the lines of how it works with guitar lessons. A lot of guitarists will purposely teach you just enough to keep you coming back, not trying to really get you to grow but trying to farm an income off of you. The idea is that if you learn too much, you won't need them anymore.

Good point. Which is why i say stay away from spiritual cults, cause they will make you pay for 30 years by giving you watered down techniques. The masters i am learning from sell enlightenment in one package, one time wonder, and i dont have to buy anymore. I know they are legit cause they charge, for valuable information, and its one time pay. "Ok you want enlightment, you can get it FAST, buy this" non of this 10-30 years BS. Also they give out free meditations so i can test out the information for myself. Some people are so egotistical that they will judge anything.

I'm talking about those spiritual beggars that panhandle all day in the streets from people whom they provide no "services" for in order to support themselves, not people who charge for "spiritual meetups" or "satsangs" and such.

I think they have to beg because they're more concentrated on realizing the self or some crap than having to make money at a job; this is what I've heard, anyway.

They just heard some idea from "GURU" and they take it way too seriously. I bet there sperm count sucks too, thats probably a good way to tell if someone is really spiritual connected they should have healthy sperm.
Healthy sperm creates life to its maximum
