Faith - in a Master is not enough; you have to work
The respect, admiration and veneration disciples have toward their teacher must serve, above all else, as a stimulus for their own work. Otherwise, their respect, admiration and veneration are a burden for him, and the disciples learn nothing. Some believe in their Master the way they believe in God, believing their faith will save them and the Master will work miracles for them. No, faith alone, whether in God or in a Master, has never saved anyone. So, disciples should stop counting on the miracles they imagine their Master can do for them, and they will progress more quickly, for then he will really be able to help them. If they are always looking to him, expecting everything from him, they paralyse him, he can do nothing for them and they remain unproductive. But if they work and prepare themselves, as soon as they are ready they will receive help.
