craft. Sages know life imitates art. Sages think art is fantasy. Of course, one could argue that Sages have more drive, ambition, dynamism, cleverness, enthusiasm, imagination, resourcefulness, originality, oomph and initiative. Their energy and boldness drives corporations, companies, firms and business.
In the Bhagavad-Gita, the Lord is one of discipline. “I exist in all creatures” and “see identity in everything” says this Lord (624). “Disciplined” individuals know “harmony with the divine” and “perfect joy” like a Dali painting (622). With the help of God, one manifests “the light of a thousand suns (622).”
I can read to myself these quotes and think they are similar to my life, for I have manifested things from visions. The visions may not have been exactly as I envisioned them but the daring, leadership, gumption, blood, and projects are a known part of me; hence, I believe I am worthy of Sage status. Does that mean I will have to start thriving in “chaos and doubt?” Does that mean I will have to “steer” through these things and let “chaos” reign? If so, I am ready. I say I am worthy and deem anyone else worthy. I have shown examples of my ability to manifest although fate has its way of turning and twisting it into unforeseen abundance. I am not a prophet and nor is the Sage. If I am not yet a Sage, I can simply understand, entertain, act, plan, and exert enterprises and do my damnedest until I become one.
