Good answer, how about Will then? The causeless Will?
Nature rules in my  opinion, so there is a Will...and we can join in it...

The same as the fact  that  talking or writing is performed on a lower 
level 
than  thinking.

Yes, when they are used as a  publicity-stunt.
Idries  Shah has told clearly about it:

(http://www.katinkahesselink.net/sufi/sufi-shah.html) )  

The truth Guru's which are not physically known can be and are   important. 
Most New Age Guru's and even present day theosophical lecturers  are  only 
average human beings, maybe bookworms or cunning orators  and nothing  else.
A tree is known on its fruits, and not on how  cunning  it is in cheating 
people to believe that throwing money away  is a good idea or  that 
emotional 
excitement is the spiritual  highest.

Idries Shah said:
"I  believe  that the guru needs his disciples. If he had a sufficient  
outlet for his  desire to be a big shot or his feeling of holiness or  his 
wish to 
have others  dependent on him, he wouldn't be a guru.  

I got all that  out of my system very early and, consistent with  Sufi 
[theosophical]  tradition, I believe that those who don't want  to teach 
are the 
ones who can  and should. The West still has a  vocation hang-up and has 
not 
yet discovered  this. Here, the only  recognized achiever is an obsessive. 
In 
the East we  believe that a  person who can't help doing a thing isn't 
necessarily the best  one  to do it. A compulsive cookie baker may bake 
very bad 
cookies.  "
......
"Their followers need the guru as much as the  guru needs  his followers. I 
just don't regard it as a religious operation. I   take a guru to be a sort 
of psychotherapist. At the very best, he keeps  people  quiet and polarized 
around him and gives some sort of meaning  to their  lives."
......
"Why shouldn't there be room  for  what we might call "neighborhood 
psychotherapy" - the community  looking  after its own? However, why it 
should be 
called a spiritual  activity rather  baffles me."
.......
"Some are frankly   phonies, and they don't try to hide it from me. They 
think that I am one,  too,  so when we meet they begin the most disturbing 
conversations.  They want to  know how I get money, how I control people, 
and so  
on."
......
"They actually feel there is something wrong with  what  they are doing, 
and 
they feel better if they talk to somebody  else who is  doing it. I always 
tell them that I think it would be  much better if they gave  up the guru 
role 
in their own minds and  realize that they are providing a  perfectly good 
social  service."

The question is if the above words are what the  beginners at TS Adyar or 
other  theosophical groups are greeted  with???

Hmmm, let's see. Ghandi never faced a  real  opponent, Stalin would have 
had him for lunch and  Mother  Theresa was a ghoul who fed off the energies 
of 
the dying. I don't  know what they were teaching but it ain't anything I  
would want to  learn.

I'm  saying we need to get away from the notion of teachers  as 
identifiable 

agents altogether.

So  you are saying that World Teachers are  known by their actions rather  
than their words? If  this is the case one could argue that Gandhi  and 
Mother 
Theresa were world teachers.

I suppose one  can  walk with world teachers or one can walk behind them. 
A spiritual evolved  soul is probably on the way to being his/her own  
world  
teacher.
