The difference between 'guiding' and 'teaching'

[Hotsizzle77]

As a guide I can drive you the distance and point out the highlights.

As a teacher I can help you learn to drive, then warn you of the potholes and downed trees on the road most traveled. Then send you off saying "drive careful".

Great analogy. Guiding infringes upon free will because the entity being guided sees the straight line they may walk. Resulting in an "easy" process of spiritual evolution.

Teaching on the other hand is an entity recieving the skills, stamina, or whatever it may need to spiritually progress. Spartan children trained and trained before heading out into the wild. The teachers can't do the hunting for them, they can only teach it.
