You shouldn’t. You are right to be dismissed, the people who are dismissing you are doing you a favor.

If you have to ask this question, or even contemplate this question, it is too early for you to teach dharma. You can only be a messenger of enlightenment, but you cannot be a master. A master cannot be dismissed, it is not possible. If you dismiss a true master, he will welcome your dismissal.

If you try to be a teacher now, you will not be transmitting dharma, you will be attempting to transmit your own, personal version of dharma, complete with all your personal misunderstandings, and in that, you will necessarily be attempting to transmit your ignorance.

So people are right to dismiss you, they aren’t stupid, they can sniff this stuff out from a mile away. Don’t become a preacher, my friend, focus on yourself, and keep focusing on yourself until there will be no one in your experience to ask this question to.

In the scenario you outlined, the best that can happen is you will attract people who want to be like you. Groupies, so to speak. They won’t be seeking freedom, they will be seeking approval from you, and you won’t be able to lead them to freedom, for you aren’t yet yourself free.

Do not become one of the blind who is leading the blind. Open your own eyes first, open them wide, and open them completely.
