Beloved brother,
Maybe you ought to point your finger inwards instead.

You're right. I do need do that. Please pray for me. I don't wish to point fingers at others, and I'm not doing that - I'm asking a question.

My question is, is somebody that trims his beard worthy of being a "spiritual master"? I don't understand this. Alhamdulillah Allah ta'ala has given us Zaahiri signs of how to seek a teacher in Tasawwuf, and one of them is that the Shaykh is extremely particular on every Sunnah. A minimum fist-length beard is one of the most obvious ones of them. And before somebody says "make an excuse" etc - no, you can ask the Shaykh himself and he will tell you he intentionally trims his beard.
