An earthquake hit the town and the Master was pleased to note how impressed his
disciples were by his display of fearlessness.
When asked some days later what it meant to conquer fear, he reminded them of his
own example. “Did you observe how, while everyone was running to and fro in panic.
I sat still, calmly sipping water? Did any of you see my hand shake while I held
the glass?”
“No,” said a disciple. “But it wasn’t water you were drinking, sir but soya bean
sauce.”
