What disciples we are of what a Master!
As to the disciples, I agree!
I wish you had chosen or called some better stuff – perhaps somebody like Krishnaprem.
Yes, but would the better stuff, supposing it to exist, be typical of humanity? To deal with a few exceptional types would hardly solve the problem. And would they consent to follow my path – that is another question. And if they were put to the test, would not the common humanity suddenly reveal itself – that is still another question.
