Title: I have two words: Rumi/Shams
Product review: In Way of Passion-a wonderful book-Harvey outdoes himself explaining why we need a teacher, and gushes over Rumi's devotion to Shams of Tabriz. Now all of sudden it's "The Direct Path", and we don't need teachers because Andrew's burned out with his. Gimmie a break... Enlightenment without a teacher? Good luck. As Rumi said: "Whoever enters the Way without a guide will take a hundred years to travel a one-day journey . . . . Whoever undertakes a profession without a master becomes the laughing stock of city and town. Do not break with the prophet of your time! Do not rely on your own skills and footsteps! Though you be a lion, if you travel the Path without a guide, you will be a self-seer, astray and contemptible."
