Enlightening.

"
- Despite these failures, the Indian TMO is still fabulously wealthy, primarily as a result of real estate deals. The TMO is the 2nd largest land holder in India, after the Indian Government. The TMO is also the largest importer of foreign donations, but this is mostly used to finance its business enterprises, and few stated spiritual goals are achieved."
