The job of a spiritual teacher in Vajrayana Buddhism 

Spiritual practices heighten your neuroses, so you learn to see your hooks, where you get stuck. So that you get to face your blind spots. If you really want liberation, you need people around that provoke you into activating your neuroses.

Gurdjieff was a spiritual teacher who had a community in France. There was one person lived there who nobody liked, because he was always grouchy. Gurdjieff had people do meaningless tasks. One day that man left angry at the meaningless task he was asked to do. Gurdijeff followed him and brought him back. A boy asked why he brought the man back - Gurdjieff said: this is a secret, but I pay that man to be here...

Maitri: feeling at home with your own mind and body 

Pema Chödrön explains Maitri

The basis of compassion, the seed of happiness or wellbeing, or being glad to be alive. Where does that come from? All of this has a lot to do with our relationship with pain, with difficulty. The Buddha's revolutionary teaching was that in human life there's pain and that's inevitable. Growing old and dying are the most inevitable one. The more that you love, which brings happiness, but at the loss of that person there is pain. If you put your hand in fire that burns. So there's a lot of discomfort in life.

The fundamental teaching of the Buddha was to not struggle against the pain in our life. We don't like to hear that.
