The Master had no use at all for scholarly discourses. He called them “pearls of wisdom.” “But if they are pearls, why do you scorn them?” said the disciples. “Have you ever known pearls to grow when planted in a field?” was the reply. | |

Much advance publicity was made for the address the Master would deliver on “The Destruction of the World” and a large crowd gathered at the monastery grounds to hear him. The address was over in less than a minute. All he said was: “These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without fearlessness and worship without awareness.“ | |
