Guest guest Posted April 4, 2002 Report Share Posted April 4, 2002 hari om. i beg to differ with the author. in each of the situation that he described, we don't trust some stranger, without references. just one example. we don't board a plane of some unknown company. we know that any big company which values its own image will hire only qualified, licensed pilots and other staff. i think we can similarly argue about banks etc. when it comes to surrendering our 'all' to Him, we again need faith and reassurance provided by our scriptures, our preceptors and others who preceded us and who testified that it does give results. I don't see any warped logic in this at all. swamy sv --- nara_kesari <nara_kesari wrote: > Every time we board a plane, catch a cab or bus, > hitch > > >hike a ride, we're entrusting our lives to nameless > > >strangers?
