I've been thinking about this vastu thang, and what I've come up with is that it's a dying man's attempt to give to the students who will outlive him what he's always enjoyed while living -- a perfect excuse for never having to follow through on one's dreams and promises and pronouncements.
The problem with realizable goals is that they're realizable, so if they aren't achieved, the person or persons who proposed the goals have to deal with the possibility that the failure to realize the goal was their fault. The benefit of having an *unrealizable* goal is that you never have to worry about any of that amsll shit. You just dedicate your life to a goal that, almost by definition, can never be realized because the real world is simply not going to go for it. Then it's the WORLD's fault when it isn't realized. In a way, "rebuild the entire world as vastu" is kinda Maharishi's "Boddhisattva Vow." It's just some- thing to keep the True Believers occupied once he's gone, so that they don't ever have to deal with living life one day at a time and setting realizable goals and accomplishing some of them and not accom- plishing others. It's a *marvelous* way of avoiding real life and living one's life in the enduring bliss of fantasy. He's trying to give his True Believer students the ability to live the rest of their lives the way he's lived his. ------------------------ Yahoo!
