 There is then the issue of misuse of power, and there can be many different ways of looking at it. But in the classical Guru Vada, there is no question of misuse of power, because once a Shishya has taken a Guru, that's the Guru, and they allow the ego to be broken down. For a Westerner who has grown up in an Abrahamic tradition, or not just a Westerner, even a Middle Easterner who has grown up in an Abrahamic tradition, that will be very difficult to swallow, because they are worshipping the Guru, rather than being devoted to the Guru.
