That's indeed what "they" think about themselves. To be the only ones who got "shastra pramana" in their pockets, and to be 9 times smarter than those "others" who are making "wild statements". Though there can't be the limit to wild applications of "shastra pramana". It is not really the sign of intelligence to be able to lift up from the Folio some so called "relevant" shastric quotes (you need to know how to "copy" and "paste", basically). But when it comes to *how to apply* these, one can really turn out to be not so intelligent as one may think for himself. Or to put it: to be in ignorance and active is not really so many times smarter than be in ignorance and not so active. The active fools may consider themselves 9 times smarter than the rest of the world, and they may go clapping each others on the back as the ones who are carrying the torch of Dharma for the rest of that ignorant world. But their pride, arrogance, self-estime, eliticisam, low-class manners, lack of compassion and respect to others, obsession with women, hate of women, aggressiveness towards anybody who's "on their way", and so on,... all this quickly discloses their position. - Mahanidhi das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
