Howdy, Suresh,
You can't tell me that you think "words" are unimportant.
We already know about your valuing words very, very highly, such as the words
of a Mister E. Tolle; and now Zen Master Dogen, of 13th Century Japan (whom you
claim is yourself, or vice versa).
Putting that aside, let me note that when you post contributions or even
questions to a Public board, and not in Private email, it is common and
expected to receive replies, and even challenges, from all quarters, not just
from any one member. That is what an open forum invites, and what it usually
provides: it gives your post and your concerns a W-I-D-E-R scope, wider
audience, and wider exposure, overall. While you await your reply from
specific people, other answers may continue to roll in, so you do not become
impatient, or in other ways remain uninformed for too long a time; and, this at
the same time enables others to contribute in timely fashion in a thread that
interests or stimulates them. These other gratuitous replies in no way
preclude a reply coming from the person of your choice... provided in the first
place that you have prompted them or enticed them in just the right way (and if
they have time to read, and make a reply. Nothing is guaranteed, of course.
You must be a relaxed gambler, and, yes, it helps if you are free, and behave
as if you realize that others are free, also.
You claim you are free; and you object to the reply of a fellow who gives you
FREE information to help assuage your prejudice(s) and ignorance in certain
not-too-important, conversational matters. As my late teacher would say, "You
should PROSTRATE to those people!" But, please don't. ;-)
I hope you get the answers you're fishing for (or better ones).
