Guest guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Namaste, There is something in human nature that needs to worship demi-gods and gurus....Why is that? Is like the rule of apes over their groups? Is it a lack of personal confidence that we invest super human powers in the ordinary humans? The same people that came and will come to Obama's inauguration will be same people clamouring for his demise in four or eight years if he cannot deliver on their perhaps unrealistic expectations of him. Commoners: ....But indeed, sir, we make holiday, to see Caesar and to rejoice in his triumph. Marullus: Wherefore rejoice? What conquest brings he home? What tributaries follow him to Rome, To grace in captive bonds his chariot-wheels? You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things! O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome, Knew you not of Pompey?.. William Shakespeare - The Tragedy of Julius Caesar - Act I. It is the same for a need for a guru, why? worship a human body? Why not turn within to the Self/Guru within. It apparently is a human instinct that has to be overcome.............Cheers Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
