Q. How can we recognizes the true Master?
A. A mirage attracts the thirsty but soon it is discovered to be an illusion and not the life-giving water. A false “Master” may attract the attention of the people through outward appearances, by force of personality or by intellectual dissertations about spirituality; but he cannot do that which the true Master can do, i.e., arouse the highest ideals in men and touch the hearts of millions.
