It is not that the spiritual master cannot help his disciple by making some adjustment for him/her, but the disciple should not expect this from the spiritual master. The disciple's faith in the spiritual master should not be based upon his ability to make material arrangements for his disciples. Otherwise, there is really no meaning to this kind of relationship. The disciple's faith must be based upon the spiritual master's ability to dispel the influence of illusion. When faith in the spiritual master is based upon this type of relationship, then there is no material obstacle that cannot be overcome by the disciple.
