It will not change.

Even Jesus accepted money for his Church. Monks and priests have always been paid for their services since the beginning of time. Ancient cultures considered these services paramount and the most practical thing they could do, and were quite happy to be materialistic about it, and pay for it, just like you would for TV, airplanes, buses, internet computer, etc. You just have your priorities skewed. Also, almost all ancient cultures had some concept of Karma, and believed that they were given what they had for a reason (wether they were given poverty or wealth), And Maharishi has said that it is the 'deserving ability' of the people that allows them to gain the necessary means, which is what almost all ancient cultures believed, including Guru Dev's cultural worldview. > It's just that the lazy fucks who'd rather > be supported by people like you than work > themselves didn't want you to know about > them, > :-)>>> Debatable, but it will never change...except in the real Sat Yug... ie. the one that is not due for half a million years or so.
