The first is that an enlightened individual (another oxymoron..?) always acts to promote evolution. The second is that of the three gunas, enlightened people act under the influence of sattva. Given the press conference of lately I would venture a guess that one is always true but that two is a matter of choice - and then perhaps what the times require to promote the smoothest evolution possible for the cosmically assigned area of responsibility (the World, in MMY's case). History has previously recorded enlightened people acting in manners that in effect made their physical bodies the focal point for collective bad karma. The Ultimate Sacrifice, I believe it's called when people who are not Self-realized passes through this particular experience. What is it called for someone who is enlightened, when a ripple aware of it's status as the Ocean levels out and in the process performs a yagya that resounds for millenia to come? ------------------------ Yahoo!
