Jai Guru Dev
Really? MMY takes no praise for himself? I haven't noticed that. I see
him inserting his (self given)name in front of virtually every
enterprise the TMO is involved with. It isn't Guru Dev Amrit Kalash
is it?
Certainly not on the commercial side of things, but on the spiritual
side of this, he constantly defers to GD. I always thought a comment
I heard years ago, when they had just unveiled the lineage painting
portrayed the truth of the matter. Someone on Purusha asked 'why are
you not in the picture' and M. responded 'oh I could never be part of
the lineage picture, the most I could be would be a doorkeeper'. In
other words he could never be more than just an emissary for the
tradition, leading people towards its. I found those remarks very
honest. In fact often on listening to M. I got the impression I was
listening to SBS, not M. A friend and I used to call it "channeling
Guru Dev" because that's exactly what it sounded like. He would even
look like SBS.
