Recognizing
who is and who is not a true master is a very subtle and
demanding business; and in an age like ours, addicted to
entertainment, easy answers and quick fixes, the more sober and
untheatrical attributes of spiritual mastery might very well go
unnoticed.
Our
ideas about what holiness is, that it is pious, bland, and meek,
may make us blind to the dynamic and sometimes exuberantly
playful manifestations of the enlightened mind.
