the sisters present a series of tests through
which she might come to mastery of herself,
by accepting what is happening and not reacting.

Once when Mr. Gurdjieff had shouted at one of
his young students, one of his most valued helpers.
She did not react, and he smiled approvingly.
"See, she well educated, she not react"
