SUCCEED IN DEVELOPING THE SEEDS INTO PLANTS - YOU WILL BE DOING MUCH GREATER WORK THEN I DID.


It is indeed a great thing to discover a new path, but it is as difficult a task to cleanse that path and make it spacious and nice. If you live for some time in places where I have sown the seeds of our Master's ideals and succeed in developing the seeds into plants, you will be doing much greater work than I did. What will they who cannot manage some ready-made thing do with regard to things that are yet to come?

If you cannot add a little salt to a dish almost done, how am I to believe that you will collect all the ingredients?
