The Master would frequently assert that holiness was less a matter of what one did than of what one allowed to happen.
To a group of disciples who had difficulty understanding that, he told the following story:
There was once a one-legged dragon who said to the centipede,
"How do you manage all those legs? It is all I can do to manage one."
"To tell the truth," said the centipede, "I do not manage them at all."
