( Oops, excuse me, Harsha, l was referring to my part of the book, not yours.) Hey, l just want to make it clear to everyone that despite Harsha's good hearted attempts to offer me encouragement, l am aware that my k process has been nothing to write about, that l would have nothing special to add to a book about yoga and that my writing is ordinary anyway. OK? Just goes to show that Harsha's compassion knows no limits! love, jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one will run off to the bookstore and buy a copy when it comes out. ) Seriously, though. I hear there is some new printing technology coming out very soon which could enable printers to make small (5-100 copies) editions of any book for very low costs, about 150 USD. This will make it possible for anyone, to publish a book for their family or friends. Love, Amanda.

This will probably mean to the printing industry what MP3 has meant to the music industry But seriously, who could be benefited by the umpteenth commentary on the B.G., on the Upanishads or on the way how to "do nothing"? Just in order to find the proper commentary, one has to read the commentary on all commentaries and decide which one will fit - only, the writer of that commentary on commentaries is an interpreter who has to be believed. The writing of books probably is most useful to writer him/herself ) The words of the Buddha, "be a light onto yourself", could be interpreted as "nirvana first, talk later - eventually".

It appears that children who are playing a musical instrument and are taking care of a pet, show a higher intelligence than children who don't. It is the equivalent of the acknowledgement that jnana and bhakti are inseparable So "losing" the first position to the "devi of the mind" is a concealed compliment in bringing up Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
