The real problem with so-called master/student relationships is the idea of intention.

The problem you are encountering is you have given me intentions. You really believe that I am capable of doing something intentionally. Intentions justify action which is always limited — we are back to the notion of unmotivated action again!

Action sustains intention, as intentions justify actions;
or the reverse.

Actions sustain limited intentions, which define death.

Motivated action leads to death
