their minds will be pollutedfrom the false ego (vRthAhaNkAradUSitAH). They will extort both othersrights and money but seldom give their own to others (hartAre na cadAtAre bhaviSyanti kalau yuge)." (Narasimha Purana 54.37, trans. JoshiK.L. Shastri, Parimal Publications, Delhi, 2003)If this fictitious ('vRthA' Prabhupada usually translates as'useless') personality/identity doesn't relate to the virtualreality/internet, then I don't know what does it relate to. So far SLseems to be furthest in this regard...ys Jan
