Subject: What would YOU say
I don't think second guessing Rama is a very productive process. Each of us, who are students, heard and stored different bits of the teachings through his words and his energy.

So, I think it is far more accurate and productive to meditate, and do what YOU do. You are using all that you are in the moment.

Ghandi never tried to justify his actions, which were sometimes inconsistent. Instead, he listened to his relative truth in the moment, recognizing his human limitations, but respecting his moment to moment truth.

The Ramalila webmaster, or team, made a decision, based on the best possible information in the moment. That is good enough for me, whether or not I agree with it.

Students have to learn to trust who they are now, and know that tomorrow that might change, hopefully in an upward spiral. Deferring, or worse, guessing what Rama would have done religionizes Rama's teachings, and that doesn't feel correct.

One of the best lines in MIBII was something like, "We all forget who we are."
