Im a lot more sure about it than I am that MMY is one. Whoaand what is your *criterion* for such an analysis? Dictionary definition: In general, the term Saint refers to someone who is exceptionally virtuous and holy. It can be applied to both the living and the dead and is an acceptable term in most of the world's popular religions. The Saint is held up by the community as an example of how we all should act, and his or her life story is usually recorded for the edification of future generations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint Subjective 'hunch', OK, that's good enough. Of course we live and die with the decisions we make, I personally don't know. The real question is however whether or not one needs a personal Guru for final illumination... I agree with you that its usually very helpful. But I was citing exceptions. Another is Ananda Moi Ma. And even among ordinary people here in FF, many are waking up without having seen a guru in decades. Unless you count their awakened friends as gurus. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
