Superb posting, LBS. I totally agree with your smart remarks.
***************** "The devotee doth protest too much, methinks." (Willy, pardon the license). It's rather interesting to see how defensive some react when hearing bad press regarding their gurus. If the devotee really believes his, her guru to be divine, why that need to absolutely prove the critics are wrong? The Enlightened are not responsible for the behaviour of their relatives and followers. Each individual is responsible for it own actions. We will always find a large array of humanity (good people, bad people and all the nuances in between) in the proximity of gurus. --- In [email protected], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Based on previous experience, it is predictable that most of what has been alleged here > will be denied by some and rationalized by others.
