“A great teacher helps the student understand how to practice an effective method rather than attempt to teach realization. Then, the outer teacher becomes less needed as the student begins to understand how to practice most effectively. Most dialogues between teacher and student should, therefore, be geared toward helping the student better understand the application of the practice—which is universal and impersonal. In this way, the teacher over time makes himself redundant. To be out of a job is the highest accomplishment in the career of the teacher.” – Bentinho Massaro
