Seeking the mentor is following the person rather than the Law
"When I'm thoroughly seeking my mentor, these are the times when I feel most human and these are the times I have access to my own heart." -- Monica Soto-Ouichi national YWD leader presenting Daisaku's Ikeda's lecture on Chapter 2 of the Lotus Sutra
And these words sound so familiar-- like Daisaku speaking with emotion about his mentor, Josei Toda. And these words degrade the devotion of Nichiren, who demonstrated through words and action the difference between sappy hero worship and revering a the True Buddha.
