Richard and merudanda too, thank you both for posting links about Guru Dev. Richard thanks too for all the summaries you do. I've saved quite a few of them and yes I realize they're in archives. Now a question: what do you think it means when he says that the mind...will withdraw from samsara on its own? I've never heard it expressed this way. navashok, any thoughts on this?
