no nonsense please ! Vedanta Shastra Pramana -politically correct

[Guest guest]

Namaste Madhavaji:

 

This reply does not constitute that I have disagreements with what you

have said. This is just to clarify the list's position on the

subject matter of discussion.

 

Most of us in the list haven't reached the level of spiritual maturity

to free our-self from all sorts of annoyance. Most of the time the

list members have been sensitive and accommodative to messages that do

not agree with their background and beliefs. We had many posts with

jokes and members have no objection as long as they pertain to the

subject matter of discussion to make a point. Those of us who post

more often need to be more sensitive to our fellow members and we

should not take advantage of their tolerance and patience. We should

recognize the fact that irrelevant nonsensical discussions have no

place in this list. The silent members do expect the list

moderators to curtail irrelevant discussions to maintain the sanctity

of the list.

 

It is a well-known fact that Pujya Swamiji Chinmayanandaji was revered

only for his spiritual messages and not for his jokes. Those of us

who listened to him personally will agree that his jokes always

pertain to the discussion topic and the purpose of his joke was to

make a pointblank point.

 

Warmest regards,

 

Ram Chandran
