THE DERIVATIVE OF THE DIVINE AND ITS DESPICABLE DOWNFALL

THE DERIVATIVE OF THE DIVINE AND ITS DESPICABLE DOWNFALL 

Money is more important than the Master today. So means the apologist, although he dares not say it on the face. But the workings are all there for men to see despite careful camouflaging by worthy quotes, worthier instances from the past and worthiest future prophecies that promise to secure an insecure present amidst the growing tide of material aberration that threatens the life of the Spirit which had brought the movement into being. Truth peeps through the linens though as the corpse rots and rots with it the heaped flowers that can scarce control the stench. Let us with our fragrant resistance root out the rot. Let us with our bodies, as Swamiji says, plug the holes through which the water rushes in to sink the ship which is to ferry souls across the sea of samsara (phenomenal world of spiritual ignorance). This is devotion indeed, not the blind, wicked complicity with corruption in the name of loyalty.
