What I meant was more of a literal point to point awareness of activity, rather than truly "understanding" the all reaching effects of the action. Unfathomable *is* the course of action, or put another way, any activity can hardly be separated from any other activity. Everything is so interlinked, right?

FWIW, not according to the Gita in MMY's translation and commentary--at least, the enlightened one doesn't know *why* s/he is doing whatever s/he is doing from Nature's perspective ("Unfathomable is the course of action"). As I understand it, the enlightened one may think the reason for the action is entirely different from what Nature actually has in mind. Or rather, the enlightened one's reason for doing the action is what Nature "wants" him/her to think the reason is. Are not thoughts also just the gunas acting on the gunas, governed by Nature along with everything else? Or are thoughts said to have some special status in this regard? (On the other hand, it's also said that enlightened people don't *have* to think very much about what they do.) Yahoo!

Sure, some evil sin may be committed, but its not like the person committing it gets away with anything. Dharma exists as an absolute, regardless of whether we choose to recognize it. The only difference between enlightened action and unenlightened action is that the enlightened one acting knows what he/she is doing; can feel the gunas in transition along every moment of action, becuase the intention for action evaporates as the action is carried out. But the same Natural Laws always apply. Always. Otherwise they wouldn't be natural. Yahoo!

At least not in any even remotely literal sense. Who knows what "creative intelligence" is? But it progresses in some sort of orderly manner, or at least orderly from the cosmic perspective, although it may seem awfully messy to us. Or not. I doubt it particularly matters which view you hold as long as you have no way of knowing, so you might as well pick the one that feels congenial. If randomness floats your boat, go for it. It's probably unwise, however, to abdicate one's judgment in favor of that of the enlightened person on the theory that he or she "speaks for Nature" if you've decided to believe Nature is driven by some kind of impulse in an ultimately positive direction, because if Nature *does* have a direciton, you don't have any way of knowing which way is "positive"--so it could just as well be that Nature "wanted" the enlightened person to make a mistake, and even, perhaps, "wanted" you to reject what the enlightened person said and make your own choices. (The one exception, it seems to me, is if you've entered into a formal "surrender" relationship with an enlightened master as your sadhana, in which case the act of surrender itself would be the "engine" of your development; *what* you're told to do is basically irrelevant.)

MMY was once asked. "That too is perfect just as it is," he responded. It's another manifestation of reality being different in different states of consciousness, I suspect. In any case, what I take from this is that it makes no sense to assume that everything an enlightened person does and says is "right" in relative terms. It may be "dictated" by Nature, but for Nature, the shortest way home may be around Robin Hood's barn. Yahoo!

You were going to get back to the list on the M/Hitler story.The one about what MMY said to German Purusha about Hitler? Or said about Hitler on some radio show? An Israeli friend of mine who used to be on Purusha wrote me a detailed email about these things about a year ago but I don’t seem to have saved it and neither did he. I remember him saying that some German Purushas used to wear swastikas under their ties, celebrate Hitler’s birthday, etc., and during my Minister Training course, some of them would shout “Heil Hitler” and “Ve are zee Master Race” during flying. I also remember hearing that MMY spoke far more positively about Hitler than is politically correct on some Scandinavian radio show. I’m afraid I don’t remember much more. What did he say to purusha about Hitler? The radio show?Perhaps M's emphasis on Vedic --i,e. "Aryan" culture, philosophy, etc has a resonance with certain pro-Aryan factions? Bizarre.

I heard a story that M was asked: If you had met Hitler in the thirties, and you had had a gun in your pocket, would you have shot him? He replied: God Lord, No. I would have taught him to meditate. He would have made an exceptional centre chairman. Uns. Yahoo!

This whole area is a huge bog, if you ask me. I don't know and cannot venture any suppositions. My TM understandings support the notion of Nature with a capital N having a desire, an intention. More recently acquired positivist thinking refuses to even entertain the premise. Yet the question remains. Perhaps succor lies in art. Isaac Bashevis Singer had a story, "Errors," in the New Yorker magazine some 30 years ago. In it, three wise men sat on a porch and told stories of ostensible mistakes that had good consequences. (I've posted this before, in case you're thinking, "He's repeating himself.") I can still remember the story's closing lines: "How can there be errors when all things spring from divine sources? There are no such things as errors. There are spheres where errors are transformed into truth." Yahoo!

My own take is that one's state of consciousness dictates how broad- based the support of Nature is. Someone in CC may be very superficial in their behavior compared to someone in a higher state.

I believe a more common phrasing is that Maharishi speaks for nature, or if you're really hard core, for Nature. I heard a neighbor say as much a few months ago, for example.
