As some of my daughters are married to natives, I take this as a great honour. For the killer whale is extremely intelligent, and friendly and loving unless attacked, or hungry. The Leprachaun, being a displaced race of beings, are very dangerous, much more dangerous than a killer whale; for they are smarter again and endowed with supernatural powers. I may look like one but I prefer the whale-------thank you.......ONS..Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Dear Ones: My understanding of a true sangha is that it is a place of friendship and support and not name calling. Usually people act in accordance with the culture and social norms of the places they visit. At Ramana Ashram, on occasion people were asked to or encouraged to leave by the manager. These were typically people who either bent or broke the Ashram rules or in some way acted in a way that was considered not consistent with the culture of the Ashram,. This included luminaries like Paul Brunton among others. Sri Ramana virtually never contradicted the decisions made by management although on a few times he showed his displeasure and the decision was subsequently changed. Love and Blessings.
