The Greatness of a teacher,
Or any being, for that matter,
Is not in their shakti,
Or powers of any kind.
Not in eloquence,
In diamond-like intellect,
In charismatic persona,
Or the numbers of their following.
Not in “credentials”,
Or stature of any kind.
The Greatness of a teacher,
Or any being, for that matter,
Is the extent to which the vessel
Has been subsumed by Love.
