一位真正的大師，並非擁有最多學生的那位，卻是塑造出最多大師的那位。
一位真正的老師，並非最有知識的那位，卻是促使最多人擁有知識的那位。
一位真正的領袖，並非擁有最多追隨者的那位，卻是產生出最多領袖的那位。
一位真正的神，並非擁有最多僕人那位，卻是服務最多人，使他們都成爲神的那位。
這些是與神對話信息裡多次提到的觀念。在此，又更清楚地告訴我門如何分辨出對方是否是一位「真正的大師」？
聽神談【如何辨識一位真正的「大師」？】
如果你尋求一位大師、一位老師，或一位上師的指導，那麼懂得「如何辨識出」他們就很重要了。
你可以籍由他教導你與神接觸的方法、他顯示給你看如何與造物主相會的方法，來辨識他是不是一位真正的大師(Master)。
如果他們對你大喊大叫、規勸告誡你或引誘你到你自己之外——在他們的真理、在他們的書裡、以他們的方法、在他們的地方——尋找神，那你要「小心」。要提高你的「警戒」並且記住，這次只是一個幻覺。
如果他們安靜地請你在你自己之內尋找神，如果他們告訴你，你和我是一體——而且你並不需要他們的真理、他們的書、他們的方法或到他們的地方——那麼你就是找到一位大師了，即使你只是被帶領到「你內在的大師」那裡。
摘自《與神合一》第17章
You may also do this on your own, with nothing more than your inner determination to help you. Yet if you seek the guidance of a Master, a teacher, or a guru, it is important to know how to recognize one.
You can know a Master by the way he or she teaches you to get in touch with God, by the way he or she shows you how to meet with the Creator.
If they shout at you, scream at you, exhort you, and entice you to find God outside of yourself—in their truth, in their book, in their way, in their place—then watch out. Take your "watch out," and remember that this time, it's an illusion.
If they quietly invite you to find God inside of you, if they tell you that you and I are One—and that you do not need their truth, their book, their way, or their place—then you have found a Master, if only because you have been led to the Master deep inside of you.
