The meaning of spiritual self-sufficiency:
…the spiritual master, he takes us on a spiritual path and he shows us where different puddles of nectar are. He takes us to different sources of nectar, he shows us, “There’s a source of nectar…there’s a source of nectar.” So then we have to be able to go there and get some nectar, that’s the point.
Kadamba Kanana Swami, 2005
