That is also my approach. Fortunately, I am at such a low level of
cultivation that almost anything will make me better than I am. Once one
gets beyond the stage where watching a tank full of guppies doubles or
triples one's spiritual attainments, it may be harder to find teachers.
But I don't figure that will happen to me for another two or three
incalculable aeons. (Then maybe I can look into some of those super
advanced advaitin masters that other folks on this list recommend.)
