Sorry for being unclear in what I wanted to say. Heck, I need

some more practice in English. And some more practice in public

speaking. I meant to show the attitude, which was quite common

some years ago in Soviet ISKCON. When you were starting ask

questions, for which your asuthority couldn't give a clear answer,

he accused you in been a jnani, since a thinking and a mental

speculation were considered indifferent. And "yo men" were

considered as directly following the path of bhakti.

Please, could you specify and extend more what's your point. I'm not

sure that I understand you right.

The word "Cheerios" is absent in my dictionary. Please

also give its meaning, if it's not difficult for you.

If you want to be understood. :)
