To a distressed person who came to him for help the Master said,
"Do you really want a cure ?"
"If I did not, would I bother to come to you?"
"Oh yes Most people do."
"What for?"
"Not for a cure. That's painful. For relief."

To his disciples the Master said,
"People who want a cure, provided they can have it without pain, are like those who favour progress, provided they can have it without change."

Anthony de Mello, S.J.
