Well, > at least that's a possibility... > Jaya Guru Datta Great example of someone recently said about the ego in this group. "Sour Grapes, I suspect".."I don't think".." "Well, at least that's a possibility" ? With such a self assured commentary presented above, your expertise is clear. Your attempts to turn amrita into ordure make it obvious: Who has the sour grapes. Whose rant sounds tired. Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji is the source of the above. He turns grapes into rudraksha, and akasha into Vibhuti, literally. >From Adi Shankara's Guru Ashtakam Shadangaadhi Vedo Mukhe Shastra Vidhyaa Kavitva aadhi Gadhyam Supadhyam Karoti Guro Ranghri Padme Manasche Na Lagnam Tatah kim Tatah kim Tatah kim Tatah kim Shadangas, Vedas, Shastras, many studies are on the tip of one's tongue. He can lecture on them eloquently. He can instantaneously say poetry. He gets many praises and titles. His mind doesn't set at the feet of Guru. Then what is the use? All these are a waste.
