I was with ya up to the last sentence. I'm asking because I'm always curious when I run into someone who believes that a guru can "take a devotee's sin" or somehow mitigate his karmas. What do you think is the *mechanism* by which this is accomplished? As I understand karma, I don't see it as possible. I certainly believe it's possible that a teacher can speed up the student's ability to work through and process his own karma, but to "resolve" it or make it "go away?" Can't see how that could work. So I'm curious, since you seem to believe in your own last line above, how you envision this happening, how you think it "works." Thanks in advance. Anyone else who has a theory can chime in, too, if they'd like. Unc ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
