When hearing teachings about the freedoms and resources of this precious human existence, one should reflect upon the fact that insofar as one's self has wasted one's freedoms and resources, one is like a sick or ill person.
One should similarly regard the spiritual friend who teaches one how to make these freedoms and resources meaningful as a physician, and the instruction they provide as medicine.
