Om Turqji that is good, That's been an ongoing lesson with Fairfield Were all gurus about $ ? Not really. Not all. Have been a few who have come through Fairfield too. All through the 1990's have come some Saints, mostly who have not been about money but spirituality. When they come around it is always a stark contrast to what we have known by habit in TMmovement meetings where the central mode of operation was the pitch for money for real estate, herbs, stars, health as the latest modality of `knowledge for money'. Of course, still the unanswered is where all that TMmovement money had gone and went. When people started traveling to see Ammachi or Karunamayi that aspect of open handed spirituality was stark in contrast to TM. One old saint came along who you could not give money to at all to help with his spiritual works. The stunning contrast to what we have known here. Then too come larger egos about enlarging their own. Is always instructive either way when you see it.
