a person to learn from

There are so many people.  There are so few inspiring people.  So few people worth learning from.

John became a spiritual master because he found someone worth learning from.  The first time John realised this person was the one who could lead him deeper into life, he and a friend followed him as walked past.  They wanted to see where he was staying.  He noticed them and invited them in; they spent the whole day with him.  That was the start of three years of intensive spiritual discovery.
