Guest guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Dear List Members Here's another perspective dealing with effort and stillness. Have a fun new week. Enjoy -d About fifteen years ago, when I was collecting information for Nothing Ever Happened, I had the assistance of a group of people who were helping me by transcribing satsang tapes. Occasionally, the volunteers would make mistakes, especially if they did not know technical terms or the names of saints and gods that Papaji occasionally inserted in his stories. Sometimes, when non-native English speakers were involved, ignorance of English idioms occasionally caused errors. Usually, I could spot mistakes and correct them without ever needing to listen to the tapes, but I did occasionally get stuck, as when someone offered me a transcript in which Papaji had apparently said, ¡I don¢t give people any goose or goats¢. I thought for a few seconds, knowing that it was obviously wrong, but having no idea of what the original words might have been. I gave up, ran the tape, and heard Papaji say: ¡I don¢t give people any do¢s or don¢ts¢. --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
