There are those who hang onto others in some way or another. They make
climbing so difficult for those on which they hang that the climbers almost want
to give up.
Such people are referred to as leeches because they draw precious energy
from a climber and slow or even stop his progress for a while. These leeches are
people who pretend to love the Teaching in order to be around those who provide
energy and spiritual comfort and obtain help from them to solve their problems.
But leeches do not attempt to further their own spiritual evolution. Instead,
they wait on the path and ride on others. Some of them are relatively harmless,
but they follow progressing ones to prevent them from climbing toward the
Summit.
Some traitors emerge from such leeches. There are traitors who follow
others and wait for just the right time to hurt and use them for their selfish
benefit. There are also those on the path who try to sidetrack your attention
away from the Summit. This task is their “duty” – and some of them are very
professional in what they do.
