Guest guest Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Namaste, I've been looking over some of the discussions we've had. Don't worry! I will stick to my New Year's resolution not to mention the dreaded i-word. (Not to be confused with the 'I'!) But I will say this. There is so much confusion created by just words. Often, two people who think they are arguing something different, are only disagreeing over words. Beware of words! They are the evil companions of maya! Hari Om!

I like the gold analogies better than the clay analogies. They say the same thing, but gold is prettier to think about. I am still at the vyavaharika level. Hari Om!
