As I get more involved with Punditji it's becoming clearer and clearer that there is an inner and an outer relationship with the guru. The outer relationship means, essentially, nothing. You can tell absolutely nothing of the inner relationship from the outer relationship of another. We know nothing of the inner relationship Bevan, Tony, or the dedicated "renegade" TM teacher has with MMY. The inner relationship is the important one and that is profoundly personal and only known to you and YOU(the guru). -Peter > > > > > > To subscribe, send a message to: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Or go to: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ > and click 'Join This Group!' > Yahoo!
