And i know i have had positive impact on a number of peoples lives. And certainly some people have been annoyed - i dont actually worry too much about them, sometimes they tell me. oft times they just complain about me behind my back - which is fine on some level. i believe that modesty is dangerous. That if we are holding back our gifts and skills, because the social setting does not encourage them to be clearly expressed - then this is a setting which is an accomplice in our likely demise. We have an obligation to share the ways we can contribute to changing the world and making things better. If your friend does not want to be in the same group with you, because you are striving to be a guru - this is not necessarily a msg about you. it could be that you are being arrogant and unnecessarily self important. It could also be that your friend does not feel like he is on the same path as you - or is way behind you on the path and feels bad about that. It could easily be his problem.
