To a traveler who asked how he could tell a true Master from a false one 
the Master said shortly, "If you are not yourself deceitful, you will not 
be deceived."

To his disciples the Master later said, "Why do seekers assume that they 
themselves are honest and all they need is a test to detect deceit in
Masters?"

Anthony de Mello, SJ

would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools. -- Confucius
