Merle,
Ha!, and you said my quoting "Alfie" was saccharine "hooplah".
(it's Philosophical; and I quoted the lyrics in the context of your asking
about God, and the meaning of Life; the song POSES those questions, and gives
an Answer).
But, "Tiptoe through the Tulips"?
No; I'll walk down Fourth Avenue and give quarters to the panhandlers, and
listen to their story.
--Joe
PS Guru is Sanskrit for "teacher". There is, too, the connotation of "Light":
isn't that what we all phototrope towards, Merle? Is your wholesale dismissal
and dis-ing of Gurus and their disciples just poetic justice? Or? There seem
to be more vocal ingrate Deconstructionists here than you can shake a Kyosaku
at. I find it immature and sad, in a Zen forum. And remember, Suresh here is
investigating a guru; are you happy to have him read your patter? Slip of the
keyboard? Or?
