Why shouldn't there be a sage on every street corner?

Mind it is, and mind alone, which prevents this. It is the mind of the

ajnani which declares such doubts.

If a saint is seen as different from us it is through our misunderstanding

only. For the jnani there can be no difference. There is no need to change

anything. That would serve to present further complications. What would one

change? One is already all that one need be. It is eternal and remains the

same all along.
