On the other hand, l'll admit that l continue to
be distressed by the fact that most of the gurus in eastern traditions that
have come to the west or have marketed themselves to westerners have fallen.
There are many who no doubt rejoice in this fact, and there are others who
will go to any length to deny it and/or rationalize it. ln that l have
devoted myself to eastern traditions for nearly 20 yrs, l definitely do not
rejoice in it. But l cannot deny it, nor am l able to buy into the
rationalizations l have heard offered in their behalf. Some argue that we
should only focus on the message and ignore the messenger's misdeeds. That,
again, is a matter of personal choice. lt just doesn't happen to be mine.

Jerry, I love you brother and fully support your right to be distressed (for
as long as you want). Honestly. No one has the right to tell you "to just
get over it!" I am not being sarcastic or anything. Frankly, it might not
be healthy to "just get over it!" Especially when what you say is true. And
it is true brother. There are fallen teachers everywhere (East, West, North,
South) and they are falling all the time in all traditions. Never
underestimate the pull of Gravity :--). Rising and falling happens in
Gravity, unless perhaps one takes a mighty jump and goes straight into
orbit! Listen brother. The Light and the Dark exist in relationship to each
other. The opposites make up the world. That, which has no opposites,
cannot be spoken of directly but indicated. If someone can do that, and make
you feel and believe that you are the ultimate authority, S/he is a good
teacher. If someone can show you the way to your Own Heart, That Person is a
Guru. And once you reach the Core, the Essential Truth of the matter, you
will see Jerry that You have always been the One True Guru. I can understand
your disappointment because you spent 20 years in traditions where you saw
many promises being broken. Promises of holy men. Perhaps True Love means
never having to make a promise. Promises are made to be broken. So, if it is
any consolation, this is the nature of things. It has always been the nature
of things. Sometimes, we just have to see the nature of things.

I now declare you Guru Jerry. May you live well and prosper oh grasshopper!

Love
Harsha
