Namaste Listmembers,

 

I am world weary.

I had the good fortune to be born poor. Just as I can't remember learning to

swim as a toddler, living without a lot of 'stuff' seems second nature or

automatic.

Even with my AK Venus transiting the 3rd, I feel no compulsion to abandon

philanthropy!.

What very little I know, I owe to the teachings of Sanjay, the SJVC gurus and

the many giving souls who share so freely on these lists.

Thank You All.

My good fortune has resulted in helping others where I can. I have never

charged a fee nor do I ever intend to.

I consider this Sacred Knowledge as continuing life-long learning. It gives

me strength and secures my faith. To practice Jyotish is an honour and

sometimes a burden, but always 'Heaven Sent'.

The 'material rewards' can be many and varied. Some may desire food on the

table, others are motivated by pure alturism, some desire jewel encrusted

swords, drugs, prostitutes and other 'stuff'.

To thine own self be true. Yes indeed! To the spark of the Divine within each

and everyone of us.

Very admirable, Ann.

 

But, I want to make sure it is understood that I don't mean you MUST charge for teaching,

only that nothing wrong with it in my opinion. As I said, I never charge for

teaching Aikido.

 

But then, I only accept certain students. So I think it is with many

"spiritual" arts instructors.

 

Western society, I think, in particular has a flaw in it that makes people believe something

has no value unless it is paid for. Of course, the students I accept in my Aikido classes

realize that they are indeed "paying" for the knowledge I help them achieve in their own

sweat and the good they do in their lives.

 

Best regards,

Martin
