My Dear Beloved Sri Zenbabaji, Upon reading your message, with more excellent plans than I myself would have the strength to carry out, I am turning over the responsibility for managing all my worldly duties into your most capable hands. I also immediately recognized you as my mother in a former life. This close karmic affiliation should insure that you have the siddhi of reading my mind and will lessen the need for direct communication. You have my utmost trust and confidence and I shall instruct all to regard your word as mine. Please explain my return to obscurity and seclusion as more proof of my holiness, as you speak for me at all interviews and press conferences. (Pictures of me dozing in a hammock will turn up, but this new meditation posture can be popularized as befitting the new laid back millenium.) Laziness will be the new virtue and copies of Antoine's "Lazy Boy" poem are to be widely distributed. The rest I leave to you, just keep the need for my appearances to a minimum. I think it best to have the devotees speak "about" me, rather than speak myself. Please write any and all replies to requests for my beliefs and opinions. While I appear to be in good health, who knows?? You are my designated successor. Blessings, Maha Mahatma Sri Gloria Swami! PS. The "MSG" in my initials concerns me. In the unlikely event that Harsha's authority may be challenged by other contenders for this swami position, remember that you stand to benefit by defending my claim.

In the unlikely event that Harsha's authority may be challenged by other contenders for this swami position, remember that you stand to benefit by defending my claim. >> My Infinite Mother and Compassionate Daughter in a Past Life: I read your virtuous and wise words as if swimming in a serene pool of endless reflections, as if the walls, too, were mirror and I simply a ripple in your supreme beingness. I felt the ethereal thread of our ongoing shared consciousness mere moments before I became aware of your supreme decision. Your return to subtle reflection can only represent good for the universe, as always, Inertia is the Great Vehicle of the New Millennium. In keeping with your wisdom, I too, am reclining more and doing less outwardly, as the maxim, "First do no harm!" should become our admonition to all politicians, leaders, civil servants, and fellow person. Being accused of doing nothing shall be equated with virtue, not seen as some failing of character. It takes supreme courage do nothing, when all instincts scream "do something!" and your example is the Supreme Act of Faith. In keeping with this, I accept your proclamation as Sri Zenbabaji, Regent, Successor and Protector of the Faith, but in keeping with your flawless example of humility will take some brief time for quiet reflection and meditation...oh, say a month or two...reclining and strolling with the Sacred Pure White Goats, that I often dance with while enraptured of the Celestial Song that you hum and that I hear always. Hmmmm. Lovely. I also wish to proclaim, on your behalf, that Next Month, October, shall be World Peace and Celebration Month, to be concluded with a Festival (How does "Oktoberfest" sound as a title?) in which all loyal devotees are to avoid work if possible and strenuous work no matter what, as well as to meditate on world peace, community sharing and celebration and the drinking of appropriate sacramental beverages in honor of the Divine or Vine Spirits. All Praise the Great Mother! Praise Maha Mahatma Sri Gloria Swami! In Gloria Eternum Pax Vobiscum! Blessings Love, Sri Zenbabaji, Regent, Successor and Protector of the Faith ("Ask me about purchasing a new Lazy Boy today!") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we need in this group is someone to approve the Poetic Beauty of our official Verse, and since Mira is Protector of the Faith and Tony is the Official Seal for Accuracy, and I am Regent and Successor (May the Gods and Goddesses Forbid!) and Harsha is the Supreme Lineal Source, Swami Gloria has decided to name you, Dharma as the Image of Song and Poetic Bliss, to approve and assure the continued Supreme Quality of verse and prose that rises to the level of poetic nuance. No need to thank us...simply consider us all united in Something Much Bigger Than Ourselves (SMBTO). Oh, and get to work on a World Peace Month and Oktoberfest Poem for the Devotees to Memorize for next month, will you, please? Thanks in Advance, Blessings Love, Sai Ram, Sat Nam, Namaste, Om Namah Shivaya, Peace, Shanti Sri Zenbabaji PS, although I am resting per the example of Her Supreme Holiness Swami Gloria, I am also contemplating the Story of the Divine Spark, a simple tale that reveals the initial transformation of all of us into the Mirror of the Absolute that we have now become. Harsha has pictures, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No path goes nowhere. The Radical Truth is Radiance of Awareness. It is Total Independence and Ever Present. The Truth needs no psychological or spiritual crutches. It needs no philosophy, no religion, no explanation, no teaching, and no teacher, and yet It is always their support. A true devotee relishes in the Truth.

While I am sensible of the great honor you do me, I truly do not think I am capable of such an exalted function. Although I have taught writing and I pen an occasional poem... very occasional... I am not fitted to pass such judgments. Besides, I am already very busy reclining a lot. >Oh, and get to work on a World Peace Month and Oktoberfest Poem for the >Devotees to Memorize for next month, will you, please? Your Holiness, I am sure I fall far short of your matchless gift for inspired and extemporaneous poetry. Could you not find it in your heart to let the Poem fall from your lips... or your pen... or fingers... as you are reclining in bliss?

Om Shabbi Poori Me Hey Mir/a/ror, There are several nice on-line glossaries of hindu terms, I can send you the links if you'd like. These terms really help if you ever give a satsang yourself, they suffuse everything with a nice glow, and make everything seem more unapproachable. There is a philosophical Realist sense to Sanskrit, and it makes all those capitalized nouns seem as though they really point to real, existing conceptual Realities. I'm sure that Sri Zenbabaji would agree that peppering our satsangs with these terms will spice things up and land us more devotees. --Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great suggestions.

Such a seal is always the finest and most enduring...as even the most materially strongs shield is bound to be broken, worn and discarded in time, whereas those made from our dreams and thoughts endure and can never be broken.
