Oh - your excursion to and life at the ashram in India wasn't giving in to

an ego temptation? Relabeling that as "spiritual" or "tendency" won't change it.

What is a temptation for one isn't for another and what isn't a temptation

can become one through vows and suppression.

 

And you have been living with saints at talking distance - your relatives who

had to put up with what for some at this group has reached or exceeded the

limit of what is tolerable. I've known quite a few who would have killed me

for far less and apparently your relatives still love you... For me, that does

as

a "definition" of sainthood, not the recitation of scriptures...
