"There must be big problems with the
organisation for you to disobey Sai in this regard. Don't
you realise the organisation needs your
help!"
Like I said, I do not believe that I am disobeying
Sai, and yes, there ARE big problems in the
Organisation. There are things I know of that even the anti-Sai
will never know of, despite the fact that it's as
plain as day. And even if the Org needs my helpo, I
probably MAY give it, depending on the situation. Thanks
for your sarcasm. :)
"You've got to be
joking. You are spending hours a day defending your
cause, spouting forth self righteous drivel. You are
simply defending your faith. Face up to
it."
Hours, eh? Are you absolutely SURE? Well, really, but I
never knew that! And as for defending, please try to
understand what I am saying. Yes I currently believe that
Sai is God (much like the rest of the 80 million
devotees!), and that "faith" is based on direct experience,
not on the stories I hear from books, or ofrom other
people. In fact, it may interest you to know that I am a
bit of a "revolutionary" devotee, because I tend to
disagree with most. If you ask me, I think they're all
mostly stupid and incapable of understanding simple
philosophy, never mind the fact that they are
stubborn. There. Shocking enough for you? These are my conclusions
after spending 9 years in the Org. Other people may not
share them, but since I stopped caring long ago what
OTHERS think, sticks and stones may break my bones but
words will never hurt me.
"but your
interpretation of it has been moulded >from day one by the
prince of darkness. You have also been deceived. You
do not realise the power of the evil one, the
power of the dark arts."
What are you, a
Christian? Not that there's anything wrong with Christians,
but you're beginning to sound awfully fundamentalist
there. As for me being deceived, may I know how YOU know
this? Since I am positively sure that you do not have a
direct psychic connection to my mind, I'm pretty sure
you don't really know anything of what goes on in my
head. Please don't purport to interpret MY words and MY
experiences in YOUR own style. That is quite rude.
