For me, if I just took MMY's personality and surface behavior I'd have dismissed MMY and the TMO sometime in the late 70's. However I have been profoundly impacted by MMY's techniques and his presence. I experience MMY as radiating an all consuming energy of the Transcendent. He is incredibly powerful. If I did not experience him as this "Blazing Brahman" his surface behavior would have turned me off decades ago. I find SSRS to be radiating this same energy; an infinite vastness. I didn't experience SSRS like this until after two years of interacting wityh him. Then one day: POW! But SSRS's personality is very different than MMY's so it's easier to have a personal relationship with him and SSRS makes himself available to people on a more one-to-one basis. He also does "stuff" to people (I'll just leave these pearls at that...too many lurking swines) Just different dharma for two amazing men. My life has been profoundly enriched by both. > > > > > > > > To subscribe, send a message to: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Or go to: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ > and click 'Join This Group!' > Yahoo!
