Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Dear Manoj, I must apologize for venturing to discuss a matter which you had clearly addressed to Swamiji. I was reading through the postings much too hastily and missed that important point. Haste makes waste; it also sometimes makes for embarrasment. Oh well, its not the first time I made that mistake, and it may not be the last---I'll keep my apologies ready for future use as well! Respectfully, Tanmaya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I was enjoying the flow of discussion that you initiated. If anything, I need to apologize. You rate me too highly ("sadhu" etc, I went red on my brown skin); I apologize for when you will see the real me ain't any sadhu. and this statement ain't any false humility cloak. . I enjoy reading your posts and the clarity of your thoughts. Jai Ma! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Dear Manoj, I've already seen you; your postings tell a lot. 1. You write to alleviate my embarrasment - so you have compassion. 2. You can laugh at yourself before an audience - so you have true humility. 3. Your writing shows clarity and depth - which requires purity of mind. 4. You ask the gurus quality spiritual questions - which, it is said, indicates a lot of ground covered on the Path. 5. And, most of all, when you have touched the feet of a Maha-Guru, even virtually, the jig is up. I predict that your alleged worldliness is in great danger. Sri Ramakrishna said that when a frog is caught by an ordinary water snake, the snake can neither spit the frog out again nor swallow it, so both experience great agony, and the frog croaks all night. But when the cobra bites, the frog takes one, or at most two, more jumps---then Silence.
