Clarification on Sanjay issue (please forward to other ...

[Guest guest]

Are you aware that in email correspondence, writing your thoughts in all caps is

the equivalent of shouting? Consider that in any court of law, you would have

spoiled your chances before a jury with your tone alone; further, your attempt

here to portray yourself as an impartial arbitrator soliciting both sides of

the story is wholly inconsistent with your original post and follow-up.

Strategically, alas, you lost the instant you decided to air your grievances

with *anyone* other than Pt. Sanjay. Your pain is evident, but may I suggest

candidly that some of this pain in a broader context may stem from not

following the universal unwritten rules of human conduct -- and I don't mean

the rules -- chapter and verse, word and akshara -- of any religious scripture.

I mean basic human decency and social skills.

Returning to the court metaphor, the jury of your peers was not -- and will

never be --impressed by outbursts. But most importantly, note that these lists

are decidedly

*not* courts and you should stop treating them in this way -- or allowing

private correspondence to be circulated so that this is the inevitable result.

The lists have rules and you have not followed them, and you should really take

any grievance to the appropriate forum. However, note that you have said some

rather extreme and emotional things *in writing*, which will remain on the

record and admittedly not help your case in *any* forum.

Sincerely,

J.I. Abbot

Dear members,

Namaste.

I'm sorry to disturb you agian with this issue which got into the lists out of

my will as I have stated earlier. However the staements made need some

clarification and some of it has already come, the rest is yet to come. Sanjay

mentioned the following in his answer to me:

Another thing - I have been observing

how you are directing your shisya to send money to me as Dakshina, and not

to SJC/Sarbani. Be sure that I will not accept this from everyone. In one

case of Swee Chan I took the dakshina and not because you told her or

something like that, but because the prasna and nimitta were right for me to

accept.

Many people of SJC were there when this event happened on the 2nd night of the

Hyderabad conference and they can testify that the donation offered by Swee

Chan was taken by Sarabani in the name of SJC India, and not Sanjay personally.

Sanjay took only the price of an air ticket from Hyderabad to Puri from her. The

rest of the financial etc. questions are still unclear so I wond not form a

definite standpoint on them AS I HAVE NOT DONE SO IN MY PREVIOUS EMAILS AS

WELL. I'm looking at statements from both sides and trying to resolve the

quandary of controversies.

Yours,
