Thank you for your reflections on this subject. I agree with everything you write here and your post is sobering and inspiring as well. You reminded me that the Spiritual Path is no cake walk because of various traumas that we all have suffered but despite the suffering or trauma, it seems that love is very powerful and once experienced, especially at a spiritual level, leaves an impression that impels us to take up our staff and bundle and journey.
Isn't there an Indian analogy which says that once we have entered the Spiritual Path, it is like placing your head inside a tiger's jaws and it cannot be removed !
The stories of fallen Gurus etc. has become very widespread now and it definitely harkens us back to what it is to become more mature psychologically. To know there are no free lunches, if that is not being too crude and that with pleasure and power comes responsibility. Thanks once again.
Joe.
