I thought this was quite an interesting interview. This fellow, who claims to be enlightened, makes interesting claims about enlightened people. He claims that enlightened folks can be neurotic, can suffer. He backs this up with historical claims about the life of the Buddha and others.
He also claims that part of the problem with the spiritual path is that we have this model of enlightenment in which the folks who have attained it are basically perfect and beyond human foibles. We have seen in the past where people become quite stunned and disillusioned when teachers (e.g., Mukananda and Marharishi ) are found to be chasing after the young alluring woman in the compound.
You might want to start with the first interview (You Can Do it- seconds link); it is both interesting in its own right, and sets the stage for the section part. I would be interested to hear what others have to say about his remarks -
Enlightenment and Perfection
