********** This is a deficient notion, although moving to Varanasi (also called Kashi) and embracing spirituality may have some value. Shankara, an incarnation of Shiva, commented on the real Kashi, which is within: I am that Kashi whose essence is self-knowledge. ... In Kashi the light shines. That light illumines everything. Whoever knows that light, truly reaches Kashi. ... If all this dwells within my body, What other place of pilgrimage can there be? ------------------------ Yahoo!
