You seem to put the last sentence as some sort of a disclaimer, which
is supposed to say that there are no perfect masters anywhere, so we
really can't tell. That is not true. You have your conscience as a
guide. It can tell you if what you're doing is the real thing, or if
you're just deluding yourself.
Besides, you don't have to know the ultimate goal; knowing the next
ladder will do just fine. There will be need for the perfect masters
when the perfect students start appearing. This is the real problem:
everybody is looking for the perfect master, without thinking that
they would need to have superb moral qualities to recognize such a
person. So, in their search for the "supreme guru", they find lots of
fakes who meet their expectations. This moral inadequacy of the
wannabe students is the cause of their failure. Then, after trying out
one or more fakes, they conclude that there really are no enlightened
people. And the truth is, their entire concept is wrong. The
enlightened people don't have two heads and four arms, they aren't
always right, they don't know the winning combination on the lottery,
they don't have to come from India or Tibet, but they do have one
thing in common: the qualified candidate for a student will find them
and recognize them. So, one needs to become the qualified candidate
for a student, and the perfect guru will appear all by himself.
If that isn't helpful, it means that you want to be cheated. :)
