The sutras

Once, Nansen told two of his disciples that he was going to take them with him to visit the national teacher. But before they started out on their journey, Nansen drew a circle on the road and said, "As soon as you give a right answer, we will be on our way."

At that, one of the disciples sat down inside the circle and the other bowed like a woman. Nansen said, "Judging from this response, it will not be necessary to go."

On another occasion, Nansen was washing his clothes when a monk came across him. Seeing him involved in such an activity, the monk exclaimed, "Master, you still are not free from 'this'?"

Nansen, lifting up the wet clothes, commented, "What can you do about 'this'?"

Question 1

Beloved Osho, is it conceivable that a real master could betray his disciples?
