Of Gurus and Masters

This verse is inspired by words... I AM scribed,
using the alias... With gratitude, Drew... He wrote,

"We stand around talking of masters,
while the masters walk the talk."

These words struck me as being quite profound,
and upon pondering, these 'thoughts' were found.

There is an easy way to tell *Master* from 'Guru'.
Just observe if they 'talk' or if they *DO*!
The 'Guru'... just talks the talk.
The *Master*... just walks the walk!

{'Guru' - those of all faiths... who ~seek to lead 'sheep'~}
{*Master* - those of all faiths... who ~choose to LIVE their faith~}

      **********

If our goal is - ONENESS - to truely ken,
do not follow the lead of so called 'Guru' men!
They are the ones who talk and preach and shout,
saying, "Listen to me, I'll tell you what it is about!"

        *******

Just emulate any *Master* you happen to meet.
There are many, 'walking the path' on every street.
Recognizing them... is no easy feat.
But a clue is... they won't be eating meat!

They will be neither timid nor loud.
They will be neither humble nor proud.
Their demeaner, neither haughty nor cowed.
They will not be easy to spot in a crowd!

The one thing, which will give *Masters* away,
is that they will *SHOW*... rather than 'say'.
While the 'Gurus' sit around and 'pray',
beguiling 'seekers' into being their prey.

Our resident Gurus may take exception,
and claim this statement is an 'evil' deception.
But... verily, verily, ' I ' say unto you,
"By their *deeds*... we shall know, which is who."
