26. The Path of Discipleship

3. Lesson of Imitation

The third lesson in the path of discipleship is imitation: to imitate the teacher in his or her every attitude, with a friend, with an enemy, with the foolish, and with the wise. If the pupils act as they wish and the teacher acts as he or she wishes, then there is no benefit in spite of all the sacrifice and devotion. Remember, no teaching or meditation is so great or valuable as the imitation of the teacher in the path of truth. In the imitation of the teacher the whole secret of spiritual life is hidden: not only the imitation of her or his outward action, but also of his or her inward tendency.
