Teaching a practice can also be a hindrance if it becomes one’s identity. To be a spiritual teacher is a temporary function. I’m a spiritual teacher when somebody comes to me and some teaching happens, but the moment they leave I’m no longer a spiritual teacher. If I carry the identity of spiritual teacher, it will cause suffering.
