Well we don't always have to agree now do we.  Perhaps these people that someone met may find their way here by invitation or some other connection. It certainly would be nice to have them visit us if they have similar interests. We may have had a lot of friends , lovers and other relationshps but how long have we had the same spiritual interests with others?

I remember Paramahansa Yogananda talking about meeting people we have an instant rapport with and that if we feel such things it might be a divine friend from the past. He even spoke of how we could recognize friends from the past. Of course i am not asking you to agree with him either. But we often spend life times working on friendships and perfecting them. It is a pity to write off an important first meeting that could be a wonderful friend from the past. One that we can continue our spiritual work with and help each other find liberation.
