Yes I agree; one of the pitfalls of idolizing "masters" and trying to follow their every word. I heard a Christian guy once saying- Jesus said no one reaches God except through him, for all people and all time. I thought wait a minute, that's not what he said. Metaphorically people say, he meant you have to reach christhood first to reach God. But literally it was true for the people he was speaking directly to, who had no internet, no bible, no meditation, no other good religious teachers, no long distance transportation.
