Open letter to AmirMourad

Namaste. Ever since watching your calm and composed video presentations you have created a high degree of expectations in my mind as a Yoga practitioner. Your postings continue to reflect your spiritual seniority and authority. But of late, I find myself returning empty-handed from your writings. I know that you won’t care or tell me that your writing has nothing to do with my reading or that any amount of such reading will make no difference to my spiritual progress etc.

I have started wondering why your writing is adding less value to me. That has something to do with my idea of why you write. An accomplished person like you having experienced bliss from samadhi after six years of hard work, would be having what kind of joy in writing on this forum? Why is it that your writing invariably demolishes the substance from the questioner? but presents very little of helpful substance? do you write for its own sake or for helping the co-travelers?

Many Gurus of the past used to avoid answering the students’ questions and instead challenging them to find their own answers. Are you trying to do that? But such gurus would do that with utmost humility and deep love for the students, traces of which are faint in your posts.

In my view, a greater number of aspirants on this forum will be greatly benefitted not by knowing how pathetically wrong they are but by learning from your struggle of those six years. Unless you were born spiritual, you must have started the journey somewhere and discovered a few things. It will be a great input to some practitioners to know about it.

Anyways, it will be unfair not to express my gratitude for your rich posts.

Amir. I do agree, to the above …

Guys. I think you missed the subtleties of AM’s humour. You mistake his diatribe as more than mere tongue in cheek, left eye winking. I know my right thigh became bruised and red after reading his posts from my slapping on them in the throes of tearful laughter. He should be regarded as the comedic guru he is.

Namaste :wink:
