Matthew 7:16 (Another take on the verse)

 They were master  observers of Life, of man, of Bahaviors of most of all of their own reactions to the world around them. They were sensitive, they were superbly aware of life’s nuances and contradictions. Most of all they found a way or discover a way to overcome the temptations, the weaknesses and more importantly they found a way or should I say found the ancient way back to God. How to work with the universe and nature to man’s advantage. They knew the path to take and which not to take . They gave a meaning to this life that we can see and they made up stories of those they cannot.

Here the Masters are saying after observing thousands of people and analysing their motive and actions, illuminated by the Spirit no less they are under no presumption that man is perfect. And they are giving a warning to everyone, be discerning, see the action and the resulting consequences not just hear sweet sounding words. Words must be backed up with Action.
