You *dislike* it right? It's just judgement, that's okay. But I can tell you why: Michael idealizes MMY's work, simply because he *loves* MMY. The explantions he gives are logical, but the idealization is of his heart. That's Bhakti, reverence, in Michaels case for the guru. You dislike it, showing me that you don't have Bhakti, cannot recognize it when you see it, and have even may feel disgust for it. Poor you! Not that you should idealize or appreciate the MMY. But if you have Bhakti yourself, that is Love for God, or for your teacher etc, you will easily recognize it in others, like - lets say Muslims who pray and don't like to be ridiculed for their religion. There is nothing wrong with disagreement, but its the *tone* you dislike, and you even think he is egoistic in that. Nothing could be further from truth. Egoistic are those missing Bhakti. Again, poor you! I have tried to make the case, that one can view MMY's action in an impersonal way, as a tool of Brahman, like anybody else knowingly or unknowingly. From all indications that we get from MMY it is very much Knowingly, but never mind, one can look at this whole theme of a staged evolution, as Michael was expounding it, in a completely impersonal way, MMY only being a tool at the time, with no real judgement involved. In that sense there is neither a necessity for condemnation nor appreciation. But the appreciation shows Bhakti, and there is a mutual appreciation among Bhaktas, as the Self is seen in the Other, and not just narcistically inside oneself, as in CC. For many the first focal point of the Self outside is the Guru. So much for your *dislike* ;-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
