21. Paying someone to lead you there
There are legitimate teachers, and they also need to eat. The community of teachers is split on the issue of money, of course, but if I wanted to devote myself to teaching full-time, I would need a source of income. If I provide a service that is of value to my students, is there something disreputable in them paying me for it? I know a couple of spiritual teachers who are having a very hard time making ends meet because they feel that money is not appropriate in a spiritual transaction.

We pay other kinds of teachers and coaches, why not spiritual ones?
