149. Know Thyself, Know Your Strengths
There was a very popular man teaching in a school, popular with his students and teachers. He was the conscience keeper of his colleagues. He was a graduate in history with mathematics in his pre-degree course. So, in his teacher's training he was trained for mathematics which disqualified him as a permanent teacher in either subject. His popularity was due to the fact that he had the uncanny faculty of knowing the other man's sensation, which is a rare endowment in a student of literature. He was unaware of it and resented the fact when pointed out, out of a suspicion of ridicule.
Unusual circumstances combined and he landed in M.A.English literature. Soon his capacity was acknowledged by his classmates as well as teachers, which made him a miniature celebrity in the university. No longer did he need to return to the high school for teaching. Early in his career his services were sought after by another university from where he left for USA to do Ph.D. What he possessed was sense mind that is below the Mind. In knowing that one is Spirit, not Mind, he knows the highest in him. A further stage is to know his evolving soul, the Psychic Being, to which this column pleads for attention.
