People want their gurus to be ego-friendly and sugar-coated. Some are, some aren't. MMY likes to kick our punk-ass-bitch attachments. Oh boo-hoo-hoo. MMY showed me his pecker...boo-hoo-hoo...MMY didn't smile at me in the right way...boo-hoo-hoo...my soup was cold on my TTC....boo hoo hoo....MMY yelled at me in public.... Kind of funny, I remember M telling us on my TTC in Majorca that There were times when Guru Dev used to "beat him on the head" when he did something wrong. We took it that he meant chewed him out as opposed to physically beat him. That gave many the impression that Guru Dev must have had a temper or he gave the appearance of having a temper to use for motivating those that needed that stimulus. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
