Last night I had a wonderful conversation with my friend Oren. He is taking the massage therapy course here at Kripalu. We met randomly the other day and have since kept up our conversations about God. He has been intensely studying his birth religion over the last two years, something which I have great respect for. In our conversation and sharing of quotes about Teachers he pulled out a book he has been reading over the past month called "Conversations with God'. He read the following passage:
A true master is not the one with the most students, but one who creates the most masters.
A true leader is not the one with the most followers but the one who creates the most leaders.
A true king is not the one with the most subjects but the one who leads the most to royalty.
A true teacher is not the one with the most knowledge but one who causes the most others to have knowledge.
And the true God is not the One with the most servants but the One who serves the most, thereby making Gods of all others.
For this is both the goal and the glory of God: that His subjects shall be no more, and that all shall know God not as the unattainable, but as the unavoidable.
