>>And my last question: To gain progress is it necessary to surrender to the
master...and how can a low trust in the master affect the progress? <<

Yogi Bhajan said that "a teacher is a warning": his role is to warn you when
you take a wrong step. The worst of them is probably to idolize your
teacher. Any good teacher will tell you that you cannot live vicariously.
You have to go ahead on your own instead of stopping at the feet of your
spiritual teacher. If he tells you to surrender to him instead of your
higher self, he is not a teacher. And I certainly hope that is not what you
understood you have to do...

"If you cannot find the Truth right where you are, where do you expect to
find it?"
