Lady Joyce

[Guest guest]

Dear Mrs. Lady Joyce

i am new to this list and this is my first posting to you.

Excuse my disturbance and my english.

First

i enjoyed your warm and understanding answer to this "preacher-like" message you responded to....

one question i ask you

why did you state

......."the God that does not exist"

are we not "in the end" all "part of God"?

instead of God we could use any other word

it is likewise with the term "love" the most misused term on earth

but this does not change the fact - at least with "me" that real Love

exists and this is for "me" God too....

could you please dear Lady Joyce send me information/liks (good ones

if they are...) about SATTVIC food

without being dogmatic (what a trap....) i tend slowly but surely to

accept that "i" need this kind of food

thank you again for your efforts your time and your passion

and sorry for disturbing you in your daily work

in Sri Ramana Maharshi
