On the inner teacher

One came to Sri Yaputre patient chronicles:
 - Master, - he said - I want to quit drinking.
Sri Yaputra handed him a glass:
 - You drink?
Petitioner was taken aback:
 - I want to quit.
 - Look, - said Sri Yaputra. - Before authoritative person like me you are able to control yourself, you set a goal and do not depart from it, because you will be ashamed in front of me.
So let us drink it - got from somewhere a second glass of Sri Yaputra - to look our Inner Master was for us the most important authority in life, without looking at some sort of masters!
 - No, Master, I think I already gave up. - Smiled chronicles
 - Yes you hesitated :( - Sri Yaputra upset.
