While most religious leaders terrified their followers with complex rules and looming judgment, this eighteenth-century master took a wildly different approach. He famously declared that in the afterlife, he wouldn't be asked why he wasn't exactly like Moses, but rather why he hadn't fully managed to be himself. It is a strangely profound take on mystical individuality from a guy known for acting utterly foolish.
