Rory, I appreciate your positive spin...of course I had to look up "the three gunas." It is good to come out of blissfull (or "blissless" actually) ignorance now and again...today is a particularly good day for that and I am looking up the nearest Mosque to visit.

Surrender can be difficult, as I'm sure Bob is well aware of :) --- On Sat, 9/10/11, seventhray1 <steve.sun...@sbcglobal.net> wrote: From: seventhray1 <steve.sun...@sbcglobal.net> Subject: [FairfieldLife] Excuses for avoiding liberation?
