The Master gives a shaking to his order now and then to awaken its dormant power of collective effort and to show that his work cannot be carried on by anyone individually; it must be performed by the monks of this Order in unison, and then only will it be well done. The more storms and stresses there will be, the more the power of the Master’s Order( sangha-shakti) will be roused.
