-How to measure the spiritual advancement of the disciple ?
– To the degree of authenticity when bowing with hands joined.
-How is this measured?
-This is not measured.
The one who bows, knows.
Once his degree of authenticity allows it, he realizes how little advanced he was until then,
The one who calls himself ‘advanced’ or speaks of his advancement, has generally not reached this point.

I have no idea what « authenticity » means, save that, to be oneself, in the most fundamental sense, means ignoring such ideas as irrelevant.

on a lighter tone, I’ve recently heard someone say that, to certain people, « be yourself » is the worst advice you can give.
That made me smile.
I guess I’m one of those persons.
