The Enlightened teacher Is a beacon for the Spirit.

You must carefully observe your own mind and spirit.When you are in contact with the teacher,you must observe whether you are gradually becoming more pure and more expansive and more clearor whether you are becoming more greedy and more angry and more deluded.The one who lets you become more pure, more expansive,more clear-this is the enlightened teacher: This is because the enlightened teacher can lead you higher, dissolve away your clingings and attachments, and give a wakeup call to the inherent wisdom of your inner mind. Someone who lets you get more greedy and more hateful and more deluded is an evil companion. This is because he can lure you down to a lower state, and offer you excuses for leting yourself go.and incite you to do evil deeds to protect his own gain, and increase the negative powers of your inner mind.(page 163)

~An excerpt from The World is a Reflection of the Mind.

你要仔细观察自己的心灵。你要观察自己在跟他接触的时候，是渐渐变得清净、宽容、明白，还是变得更加贪婪、仇恨、迷惑。让你变得更加清净、宽容、明白的，就是善知识，因为他能引导你向上，消解你的执著，唤醒你内心本有的智慧；让你变得更贪婪、仇恨、迷惑的，就是恶友，因为他能诱惑你堕落，为你提供放纵的借口，教唆你为维护自己的利益而作恶，加重你内心的负面力量。
