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. > >Love >Harsha 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.

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your help is appreciated Dan. 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.
