I had learned a great truth, however.
One tries to teach others at one’s peril.
It is better to leave one’s fellow men to sleep in peace
than to disturb their slumbers.

Let not those who know unsettle the minds of the ignorant who know nothing.
How could I, a careful student of the Bhagavad Gita
have missed the significance of that verse?

Don Juan offered a similar message:
A warrior does not squeeze his world out of shape.
He taps it lightly and passes on leaving hardly a trace.

That was it.
By playing the guru, I had squeezed out of shape the people with whom I had come in contact.
I had also squeezed myself out of shape
by trying to play a role not in accord with my essence.
The Missionary,
that babbling fool, had betrayed me.

Well, I had learned a lesson and would not forget it.
In the future,
NO MORE TALK.

Don’t volunteer information about the Way,

What are honest questions?
Honest questions contain the seeds of their own answers
and above that
the questioners have tried to solve the problems themselves.

Dishonest questions show that the questioners

Those liable to ask questions about the Way generally want someone else to do their thinking for them.
The rest just don’t care.
So the dervish can continue on his way in solitude,

Just a sample of de Ropp's life!
excerpt from:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_S._de_Ropp
In 1925 Ropp's father, being in financial difficulties, could not pay the school fees and took him out of the school. His father also remarried, and the family went to live in the old baronial estate in Lithuania.
Shortly after relocating, Ropp's father obtained work as an agent for an aircraft company in Berlin and, taking his wife there with him, abandoned Robert in the rambling ruin of the family home, where he lived with a family of Latvians attached to the old Ropp baronial estate.
He lived a rustic existence in Lithuania, left to his own devices and picking up the ways of the peasants.
Two years later, when he was fourteen, his father shipped him off to the semi-desert south-Australian "outback", to live with, and work for, a hardscrabble-farm family.
Three years later, the farmer went bankrupt amid dust storms. The farming family had to leave the lad to his own devices, and the situation made him bitter and confused. Lonely and nearly penniless, hard-bitten Robert eventually made his way back to England, where one of his maternal aunts took him in.
In a while, he moved in with his mother's cousin, Adeline, who lived in Dorking with her husband, Ralph Vaughan Williams.[2]
