Describing a group of people as " sick, " unless describing a physical

(or mental) illness diagnosed by a doctor, certainly seems like

a " value judgment, " seen from here. I'm quite convinced you never

personally knew any of the 'ancient sages' you so blithely dismiss

as " sick puppies, " based on translated writings.

 

If it weren't for the ancient sages, Nisargadatta's line (Nav Nath

Sampradaya) never would have started, he never would have met his

Guru, and it's possible a man named " Maruti " simply would have

continued selling bidis in his little shop in India until his dying

day.

UG is a different story (and situation) altogether. The way I see

it -- he's judgemental, but equally judgemental toward all <grin>.

He basically dislikes *all of them* :-).

Who was asking? I was just noticing (reporting), or making an

observation... much as you claimed to be doing calling the

ancients " sick puppies. "

 

Namaste,
