Well yes, am I glad I am no Mahatma...I would have those famous contradictions spelled on me every time I try to use the feeble English language to express a thought.. I am under the spell of Maya as most people are! But you will understand we all will work it out....on the Day With Us :-)

Hi Martin, for me it shows contradicto intermines, iow if one live

the one becomes Karma for those who have not yet?????

Intuition to understand what I just wrote...
