| Three types of spiritual teachers 1.) The first one: after received divine gifts, then abandoned his earthly labor. 2.) The second one: after received divine gifts, then dropped the thread of understanding of life. *3.) The third one: having received the divine gifts, and knowing how to tie the thread of understanding, continued to bear his labors on Earth. So third one’s usefulness much exceeds that of the others. 4.) The cross is the symbol of life. 5.) When Plato was departing from Us, his last advice was, “Create heroes!” |
| *5.) So let us direct our eyes to our surroundings, and understand from what perils we are being protected – just by our devotion to the Teacher. *6.) But often, we trust the Teacher in great works, and are less certain in small ones. *7.) Often we see the great obstacles, while overlooking the multitude of small ones within sight! 8.) After all, a small unnoticed scorpion strikes just as poisonously as a large one! 9.) So an ‘eagle eye’ is needed, not so much to discern the mountain, as to see the smallest grain of sand. |
