If you guys spent half as much energy training as you do thinking and writing about something that has always been, is now and always will be you'd be much further along in your own journey. That being said I too am and have been very critical of other teachers, lineages etc... but one thing I do know for sure, it (criticizing, worrying about how others practice) is a waste of time and a fruitless endeavor. The reason this thread is so popular is that by our nature we want to criticize others to justify our own way. This is why we need training. The words quoted by O'Sensei are not just some unattainable ideal but a road map for our training. It is a difficult road to hoe and one that I often wander off but it is the road no less. We have very little time here (on earth) don't waste a single moment!
