But as a final adendum to what I
previously wrote, as the sacrifice of purusha to purusha the sort of sacrifice
demanded of the truely pious by Maharishi would tend to make some people saints.
I guess. I'm sorry to you peeps for maybe saying that you did wrong or anything
because you didn't. What you did was follow your hearts and that was beautiful.
And I applaud you all for it. You guys rock. For real. Party
On.

---Well what else can I do Jim. I let go with a yell. If Jesus,
and
Buddha, and Shankara, and Nanak all couldn't enlighten the
world, and
they left legacies which still resonate, inspire us to
build worlds of
greatness in our hearts and not in the streets, and
which still guide,
based on aspiration to be moral, compasionate and
wise, then what makes
someone think that some medieval throwback to
some nonexistant dreamed
of reality called Vedic civilization,
ostensably merely some fantasy,
how can such a master of dimness
take the world to some higher ground.
It's Bullshit. Maharishi is
bullshit, and I could also give someone a
technique that I merely
shitted out on a shingle, with some great high
falutin philosophy
and it would move someone and they would follow, then
give me their
bodies and souls and money and children's money, and guess
what. If
I was a megalomaniac I would take it, and ask for more. Bye for
now.
