"Then what about if I become a master? If to be a disciple is so difficult, let me become a master."
The master said, "To be a master is very easy."
The man was very happy. He said, "That's what I was thinking. Things should be easy."
But the master said, "You will have to manage a few disciples, and that is very difficult. They are stubborn, very angry, always ready to fight. Sometimes it can prove dangerous."
He said, "But you were saying that to be a master is very easy...?"
He said, "To be a master is very easy. Just look at me, I am at ease. But first one has to either lead disciples or to become a disciple."

When she is not there even I miss her -- and she is not an ordinary woman. Just yesterday she gave Kaveesha all her money with the checkbook -- that is three and a half million dollars -- and said, "You take it."
Kaveesha is poor. She thought that this was a good chance in a lifetime to have so much money. But she was not aware that Avirbhava is tricky! She accepted the checkbook,
