Whatever. The top quote is from Amma. The other paraphrases are from equally-famous or infamous teacher/guru/religious leader types. The bottom line is that *every one* of the people who treated the words of these teachers as if they were "orders" believed thoroughly that they were following *good* orders. But some were, and some weren't. I know you don't really have to deal with this, because after all you believe that the universe really runs everything, and that no one really makes any decisions anyway, but hey dude...if the universe was running Jonestown and the fatwa against Salman Rushdie, it's really fucked up. :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
