A financially successful friend of mine was told by her guru to fly back four times a year to attend his retreats and workshops. When she first started going on retreat I realized it coincided with her manic mood cycles. When she was manic she thought she was achieving nirvana and enlightenment. She bonded with her guru and paid lots of money to return to him as often as she could without realizing it was her bipolar speaking not her guru's powers. The more I thought about it the more I realized she was being exploited.
