But the son kept thinking to himself, "I am the son of a great teacher; from childhood I have learned so many things. I have inherited my father's knowledge. However great any teacher was, yet when he met my father he paid him such respect, such great respect. There cannot be anything better in these teachers than there is in me." So he thought he should stay with his father and said, "Can there be anyone better than you, father, that I should become someone else's disciple?" But his father answered, "No, I am no use for that. You must have some other person who is suitable for this purpose." "Who?" asked the young man. The teacher replied, "That pupil of mine who was a peasant and who is teaching among peasants. Go to him and be initiated by him."
