My understanding of the Teaching is that if say you tell me
that you have this or that inner experience then I should repect
your identity and dignity by accepting it as genuine even if I
personally cannot understand it. If perhaps I thought you
might be misinterpreting that experience then I can if I am
willing to take the responsibility talk to you privately about
it. End of story.
