Dear <omtatsat, Do not lose heart. Just by following some principles of Yama and Niyama (to wit, Truthfulness, Nonviolence, and Brahmacharya) The great mahatma has shown to what height a human being can reach! And then we have many more in Swami Vivekananda (and many others) who have blessed the earth. There is no need to feel sad about Mahatma Gandhi not making it first. The human evolution has not yet reached that stage when the earth would be inhabited by many realized souls. This does not mean the human beings are as yet evil or something to this effect. But the potential divinity on a social or collective scale has yet to reach that stage, albeit, individually many have scaled the heights of glory. dr css ==================================== E-magazine on science and spirituality.
