“It is not by preaching or expounding the sutras (scriptures) that you fulfill the task of awakening others to self-realization; it is rather by the way you walk, the way you stand, the way you sit and the way you see things.” —Thich Nhat Hanh

An interesting passage,in line with the above:
ReplyDelete"A rabbi said, 'I do not go to the maggid[Rabbi Dov Baer of Mezritz]
in order to hear the Torah from him,but to see how he unlaces his felt shoes and laces them up again.'"
Tales from the Hasidim, The Early Masters, by Martin Buber,London 1956.
(Quoted in an editorial article titled 'Who is a Genuine Guru?'in the journal 'Mountain Path'published by Sri Ramanashramam.
