Gurdjieff. Here is an excerpt from the intro of my book, THE SEEKERS about learning and dedication: “There's a tradition among the real gurus that the disciple must try really hard before the teaching is allowed to come out. There is a myth related to this about the mystic Gurdjieff that just might be based in truth. It is said that Gurdjieff would tell his pilgrims to meet him in a bar at such and such a time, only to quickly tell everyone that they would be going to another bar instead. That weeded out half or more of the flock. Then, after one drink, he insisted that they go to a third tavern. It was getting very late in the evening at this point, and only a few stragglers were left. Gurdjieff lifted his glass and said something like, ‘Let's get down to it. I'm ready to talk.’ The Master showed the jewels only to those who were really thirsty.” Grab your copy of the book at the link in bio!
