That poem seems pretty anti-american. By the way, I do remember something of the Tonya Harding controversy. One of many ongoing, with no end in sight. Whether it's a guru having sex or a politician with a private email server...There is no grand battle between good and evil. I think that must be one of the last delusions to go. It was hard for me to fully grok. We dream up the heros and the villians. There is only insight and intelligence; ignorance and imbalance; no good and evil as people have come to believe over the past 1000 years or so. Seems pretty clear to me.
It is quite clear that ISSIS and Hitler did some evil things. But people have different opinions of what a guru or teachers means to them.. i say let them have there opinions and do not judge so much. People often react because they do not want to be sucked in to meaningless views that have proven to fill up their time with dead ends. i think that is part of it. Personally this has not happened to me though. The Gurus i have followed have helped me immensely and people like Kriyananda and Osho i have found have some helpful thoughts. i just never got so involved with such people to have strong views about them. i see a bit of myself here though. i am unwilling to spend time listening to Christians talk about their views of Jesus. I is a total waste of time. Just like i am unwilling to listen to people like ISSIS give their views about religion. Seeing what they have done to others is enough to see for a lifetime.
