strings: I know the whole tradition says, "Be with a man who has realized." How can you know that he has realized? All that you do is to keep company with him and even that is extremely diffcult nowadays. There are very few good people, in the real sense of the word—people who are not seeking something, who are not after something. Those who are seeking something or are after something are exploiters and therefore it is very diffcult for' anyone to find a companion to love.
