The Master made him a fairly easy ans wer; He told him, for one thing, to play the game according to the rules laid down. The young man replied that he had always done that. Then the Master shifted the whole point of view to the "heart of the mystery. He told him that the source of life was not a set of rules, a ceremonial, a doctrine i an organization; but an attitude, an iitir.osphere, a life."
