There are temples and books; they are existing; they are there, but the time is separating us from them.\u201d He always mentioned \u201cwe\u201d and spoke about the one who sent him, his spiritual master. He didn\u2019t know people at that time, but he said, \u201cI am never alone.\u201d He always looked like a lonely man to me. That\u2019s what made me think of him like the holy man, Elijah, who always went out alone. I don\u2019t believe he had any followers.

There are temples and books; they are existing; they are there, but the time is separating us from them.” He always mentioned “we” and spoke about the one who sent him, his spiritual master. He didn’t know people at that time, but he said, “I am never alone.” He always looked like a lonely man to me. That’s what made me think of him like the holy man, Elijah, who always went out alone. I don’t believe he had any followers.
