At Mr. Gurdjieff's institute in the 1920's, he had a group working in the forest.
The man that Mr. Gurdjieff had placed in charge of the men had a rather fiery way
of giving instructions and one of the younger men was starting to become rather annoyed at the
way he was being spoken to. He was becoming irritated and reactive.
Mr. Gurdjieff was always aware of how work was proceeding, and in speaking with the group
leader and asking how his students were doing, he learned that the young student was
starting to be angry and was answering back when given instructions.
Mr Gurdjieff said,
"Next time he starts to do this, insult him".
