Sometimes in life we are confused like 'which is the right way to go ?' We confide things or secrets with whom we love. But sometimes so happens, we just leave ourselves to the mercy of our so called mentors. And the mentor thinks whatever he /she is doing is the correct way. The mentor forgets that in some point of life he/she could become the victim & could be sitting on the other side. Life is so unpredictable, you never know what is going to happen in the very next moment. The mentor never realizes that one day the victim may come out of the troubled situation & move on with life & he/she could be facing troubles in life. The teacher or the mentor has not always the right ways of mentoring. The mistakes the mentor makes at that time is irreversible. Whenever a problem arises it should be handled with lot of care & respect. The matter should be discussed only between the mentor & the victim & not anyone else. A small mistake in life can create hell in one's life.
As Patrul Rinpoche says:
In the beginning, skillfully examine the teacher.
In the middle, skillfully follow him.
In the end skillfully emulate his realization & action.
A disciple who does this is on the authentic path.
