Samba didn't meant only leaders, if I understand it right. He

meant also usual devotees, who got more or less stable material

situation, got an initiation or two, and who think that

"everything is Ok, if someone has problems, that means he

doesn't follow the process". A conservative part of devotees,

which is most prominent in our society. The consumers.

Please, don't misunderstand me, I don't blame anyone and call

the blind followers. It's a usual picture in any society, and

in our also. And I wouldn't call it happiness, rather

satisfaction.
