When a meditation teacher has few students, he or she can provide one on one instruction. However, with the advent of hundreds or thousands of pupils, it is impractical, if not impossible, to provide the same level of attention. In movements such as the Radhasoami tradition, where there are hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of adherents, the designated master can only spend very limited time with the vast majority of his or her disciples. On the surface, this seems to be an intractable problem with any large organization, but it is particularly worrisome in spiritual practices which necessitate a more intimately connected relationship. However, with the advent of artificial intelligence, deep learning, and Virtual Reality avatars, consistent personal tutelage, directly correlated to an individual's own needs and difficulties, becomes both possible and feasible.
