On the other hand--just hypothetically, now--if a person had an entirely genuine desire to enlighten the world, perceived that in order to do so it would be necessary to have a big movement that was run like a business--including accumulating money-- and himself had CEO-type inclinations in terms of his temperament, how would his actions look any different from what MMY is doing? In other words, how can you tell the difference between someone whose primary motivation is to run a business that accumulates money and uses a spiritual front to do so, and someone whose primary motivation is to spiritually regenerate the world and uses business techniques as a means? ------------------------ Yahoo!
