If there are sexual escapades so what? It is purely a matter of two
consenting adults and it is their business even though inconventional
thinking it is unacceptable for a spiritual man. Of course traditional
belief and traditional thinking is that sex and spirituality cannot
co-reside. The same took place in the case of Jiddu Krishnamurti. So we need
to look at the message and dont mix it with the messenger.

Results are what counts. His message has affected many and has encouraged
many to provide relief to the poor and suffering. While I am not a follower
of *any* individual, I personally look at what good has been done and are
being done for the "orphan Humanity". The poor and needy who are the
beneficiaries do not care about where the help is coming from and any thing
else.

Just my view. Your mileage and direction may vary.

Peace
