E-drek,

First, this was not my idea, it was TED’s, who sits at
the right hand of the Lord and has been given the entire TRAC to run.  So I take this chain of command seriously, and I
don’t know if TED has actual Lila capabilities, but I know he is right up there,
and may be testing you.

For myself, I am just thrilled the Lord has plucked me
out of oblivion once again for prachar (and my wet dhoti contest was a brilliant
stroke, even if I do say so myself).  And
so I am not second-guessing TED, nor the opportunity.  The 20% is in line with the profit motive we
have learned the value of, and the billing, well I am just not in my mind
enough to worry about it, or at least too blissed out to even notice if I am even
in my mind or not!  You may want to look
at this.  But I’ll do whatever TED says
at the end of the day.

Here’s a little story for you about agya.  One time I burst through a stairwell door and
almost knocked over our Lord, just missed him with the door!  His terse words to me were “Cool it, cool it,
GO TO SATSANG!!”  It was in the middle of
the day, and as I sat a long time in the empty satsang hall, I pondered the
weighty koan of his direct agya, and how I was so lucky to have received it.  But how do I go to satsang in the middle of the
day when there are no programs?  Is
satsang even a gathering?  Did he mean to
go out in the streets and give people satsang? 
Is satsang a state of mind?  Am I
in it?  I am not sure I ever figured it
out.  Not sure why I even brought this up
now, except that you need some satsang, brother.

Anyway, I do have an idea for the holi gun.  How about if it was a life-size metal sculpture of
Shri Hans, horizontal, belly-down, face pointed forward with hair streaming back
(as if flying) and spread-eagle.  The Lord
could stand behind him, holding his holy lotus feet to pivot the gun, and the water/
charanamrit could gush like grace from his mouth and eyes.  I am not sure how we can work the LED
lighting in though.

I picked up my sacred copy of Hans Yog Parkash (written
by Shri Hans Ji Maharaj himself) this morning, to find a few passages that
might inspire you.  Here a few actual quotes:

“All
the great saints have bowed at the lotus feet of Guru.  He who criticizes his Guru is the most unfortunate of men.  One should not even listed to criticism of
one’s Guru.”

“One
should be very humble and full of love, bowing at the lotus feet of Guru
Mahajaji.  Whatever he commands should be
taken as a gift and accepted with bowed head.”

“The
Satguru is one who has no greed, no attachment, no pride, no jealousy.  He always speaks of spiritual matters, and
removes the jealousy, pain, doubt and attachment of others.  He takes his stand on perpetual truth at all
times.  His expression is pleasing and he
is nicely dressed.”

I hope this is helpful.

Jai Satchitanand, Brother
