---

To be constantly subject in every action and movement to the watchful gaze of others--critical on the part of the world, adulatory on the part of followers--is a life-experience to which prophets and saints submit but to which others refuse to submit. They accept no personal disciples and remain obscurely in the world. Some are sages, all are enlightened.
