THE WAY OF LIFE
present in a preacher of dharma. Some decades ago, there were only a few preachers; but to-day their number has increased. The number of sadhus and sadhvis has increased. The number of preachers also has increased. But how many of them are worthy of the lofty task ? How many are there who can deliver authentic discourses on the words of the Jin ?
To-day, I have spoken about the preachers of Dharma, and to-morrow, I will speak about listeners and later, I will speak to you about the subject of listening to discourses.
This is enough for to-day.
