Before reading the additional details, I thought it sounded like a clever slogan. After some thought I was still drawing blanks. Then I noticed that this question was not in philosophy and then realized that maybe I needed to change gears. I ignored the internal prompting about the master never being appreciated in his own village but it kept coming back. Still I don`t see the connection.

Practically speaking, that is when I try to apply the quote to my life at the present, what I get is that when people meet me here for the purpose of sharing and/or acquiring bits of knowledge, they can immediately sense the emotional connection. At least I assume that they do, I have never asked. Still, another blank.

From the point of view of the healing practices, what will help people heal themselves best and most often? The reputation or the bedside manner? I think the reputation is the correct answer. There is something about the aura of mystique exuded by the practitioner which is essential. It seems to me that it is better that the client/patient not think of the practitioner as an ordinary person even if he/she is very loving and kind. Probably a balance of the two eventually could be helpful if I think of it from a business point of view. The client would be more likely to keep coming back and to tell others about the healer. Yet, before that can happen, the healer must be seen as an effective healer. For that to happen, from the point of view of the healer, the healer must radiate confidence and a lot of it. The healer must in conversations with the client redirect as much of the negative thoughts, emotions, sensations, beliefs, so as to place the client in a state of allowing. THAT is his main job. Nothing else can be more important. So how does this fit the quote? IMO there is no connection.

I must then for the time being conclude that the quote does not hold water, and conclude I must. I look forward to seeing the other answers, so cheers!

What a meaningful quote!

I firmly believe that just simply gaining knowledge does not make a person great! It is when that person uses the knowledge they receive for someone else’s gain, rather than their own.

I don’t consider myself an Einstein in any respect, but I do take pride in being a considerate and caring individual, especially when it is acknowledged by my peers (a kind of reciprocal benevolence).

It’s well-meaning, clever but wrong. Many people worry how much others know and fear that they do not care.
