Hi,
First of all, thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Secondly, have you tried to voice your concern to your guru? I’m asking because, sometimes, all one needs is a nudge, a reality check. I understand that the power dynamic is such that questioning one’s guru is a very daunting prospect, but not paying attention while teaching is something that will directly affect your learning and I think maybe just trying to talk to them about it might help?
I completely understand what you’re saying about growing up and living in a western country, because I’m the same. In western countries, there is mutual respect, like you said, and a infrastructure that generally makes sure that the level of teaching and learning is of a certain standard. All I would say, is that, living and growing up in a western country, your strength is that you have been taught to question and put your point forward. So, maybe try and put your point forward gently ☺️
