Marcus, I would be wary of labels.Have you noticed the number of product recalls these days?
What is a circus without a clown...a court without a jester? What is a coward without a courageous hero? What is a coin with one side? What is a insult without a insulted? When you say 'they'...for whom do you speak? Why? Can you? Ok...will not say continuous insults is associated with inner peace. But,is continuously being insulted associated with inner peace? Nor do I attack or intend insult to you in asking my questions. Nor do I defend RS. (And by the way...I understand that because we are not face to face,many of my posts could be viewed as attacks/insults.You cannot see the smile on my face.So I try to remember to place a smiley face on my posts.But,even the smiley face is no guarantee.) :) On Aug 6, 6:17 am, Marcus <[email protected]> wrote: > . > > Rodger, > > I do this because of what it says on the label. > > Advaita-Zen google discussion group.
