>Your apologies are accepted Dan. Lao Tzu also offers one perspective as

well. He will be making a public apology for everything he has said at the

summer retreat. I enticed him by suggesting he could be the

main speaker. It is a typical switch and bait tactic on my part. The main

event is going to be a magic show by Zenbob in which he will make the

audience levitate exactly 9 inches as Jill sings the national anthem in

Sanskrit (translated by Tony). Lao Tzu's apology will follow in the

original Chinese. Thanks.

Harsha, that's great that you managed to con Lao Tzu into a public

apology. He's apologized to me privately more than once.

He's usually very shy about speaking in front of large groups,

let alone offering an apology to such an august and learned body as this.

However you managed this, I salute you! Perhaps he heard

a rumor about the Sanskrit singing, and this enticed him.

Knowing that Sanskrit can't be sung, he

probably assumed that this would be the singing of

the Wordless Word that would complete the cycle of all his

incarnations.

 

Love,

Dan

I accept the salute and salute you back Dan!

 

How I managed to get Lao (we are on first name basis) to apologize at the

HarshaSatsngh summer retreat is simple Dan. I told him that right after he goes

in original Chinese, I would be apologizing for everything I have ever said in

original Punjabi. Of course internationally renowned translators will be there

eloquently translating every word Lao and I say, into Japanese, Russian, and

Swedish. (Tony and his team will be there for Sanskrit scholars scratching their

heads).

 

Because apologies by Lao and myself are expected to be incredible tear

producers, tons of silken handkerchiefs have been ordered from Malaysia. These

will be distributed free of charge but donations from Australia to offset the

expenses are pouring forth. I am hoping Dan that you will accept the assignment

of leading a team of internationally renowned North American counselors and

Middle Eastern psychologists to help minimize the anguish and suffering of the

audience that is bound to result from these historic and unprecedented

apologies. Your help is appreciated Dan.

 

Love

Harsha

D: Harsha, the tears welling up as I contemplate the unprecedented nature of

these apologies lead me to believe this will be a cleansing experience

for all. Remorse is so healing sometimes. The handkerchiefs are a nice

touch. Silk handkerchiefs will add the right aesthetic ambience

for such an occaision.

 

Love,

Dan
