Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcat member could you live with
A lot of little people try to set themselves up as "masters", Daylia, and a few even succeed...by outer appearance, at least. Then there are those who actually are Masters, and they don't try at all. It just naturally happens to them, because they are so inspired and driven so powerfully to help other people that people just naturally love to be near them. How do you figure Jesus acquired those disciples, and ended up with huge crowds of people gathering to hear him speak? Did he advertise? Did he get help from the established power structures of his time? Did he spend money lavishly to acquire "converts"?

What did Buddha do that made people gather to listen to him?

What did Gandhi do?

What did Mother Teresa do?

They rendered completely unselfish service to all those in need, that's what they did. That's how you become a Master.

Such people are exceedingly rare.
