The 3 Situations 1) illusion : knowledge, even spiritual is still of the mind therefore is just personal & subjective belief based on separation. It is open to interpretation and perception as per experience, culture, attitude, and perspective. Besides, language has changed (and still will change) many times over. 2) instinct : people are primarily animals with instincts , and they rather not put effort unless they can renunciate , which is not easy. 3) herd-mentality : people are primarily animals with herd mentality. If someone has luxury and comfort then they all will want the same. Keeping up with the Joneses.

Yes earth element is both the most-suffering / lowest element (on the ego path), yet the least-suffering / highest element (on the Spirit Path).

Therefore, he who teaches it is more interested in alleviating suffering than causing it (especially by giving especially selling endless and/or useless postures / techniques / knowledge / gadgets / badges / venues), especially for him or her self. Reason #2) True Teachers ( right hand path ) / True Trainers ( left hand path ) are mostly interested in Liberation , therefore are more willing to Sacrifice (give without necessarily taking) and Renunciate  (practice austerity) because those are the fastest and surest routes to it. Reason #3)  The people who are in need of it most are probably poor because they are constantly faced with actual (yes not imaginary nor feared) survival related pains, aside from the less obv...
