every method is a trap

"In other words, there's a method of pursuing or following a devotion to the Guru, but ultimately every method is a trap, and you've got to consume the method, go beyond the method."

(Ram Dass, 14 minutes into https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWAZFuz_mFc) I take this to mean some combination of:

• the game is different at different levels. eventually you hit a new level where a new strategy is needed.
• maybe there is no ordered set of levels, but each method moves you along a different basis vector, so you need a combination of methods to get to any particular point.
• just a general statement that we have to be flexible, that we should make sure our methods serve us, rather than being a servant to a particular method
