From: Bhavin Desai
On 2003/05/27 21:03, Bhavin Desai posted thus to the K-list:
I don't think that you have hit the nail on the head. A sledgehammer to
crack a nut comes to mind. It appears that everyone is suddenly piling
their own general pet theory useful-in-all-circumstance regarding "you
are wrong" on to me. I don't take it. I was only making a very simple
point and the discussion has got out of control and direction.
[However, if it makes you all happy to relieve your frustration onto me
then that's fine with me too.]
A mundane counter-example to the reasoning below: I may not be an
international tennis star but I can tell the difference between the top
3 players and the bottom 10 players at Wimbledon, or US Open, or any
championship. Similarly, I am not a master, but I can tell the
difference (and hence appreciate) between excellent masters and other
teachers.
It is quite easy to talk around (and around and around) a topic like
Kundalini, but it is really something else to actually discuss it
directly in a way that is useful and practical. I have seen several
excellent books and websites. But the amount of poor quality
information is completely out of any reasonable proportion. That's
life. Innit?
Bhavin.
