I've tried to convince him to get a job to have a proper focus, but he refuse to listen ;-) On the serious side, if I may ask this; did you invite Guru Dev into your life or how did that happen ? Can he possible take care of all that wants his support, are his resources limitedless ? I remember Maharishi once said that an enlightened man can "know anything anytime, but not everything all of the time" Thanks again for sharing your experiences with us Jim !
