This is a very nice thought in response to unkind, superficial, and snippy
gossip. I laugh at all those sincere seekers who really think they have
found something worth relating to the rest of us. They must feel very
outspoken and modern, because they can talk so freely about sex with gurus.
Maybe it just shouldn't even be discussed, because it doesn't lead to
enlightenment.

Laws change depending where you live and what age you live in, but the one
law is changeless. Isn't this the law of evolution? I think people
corresponding here could do much better if they would refuse to relay
stories which they have second hand.
