Sacred Space

Either our "knowledge" is false or corrupt or we are false and corrupt. Perhapsboth. We neeed to figure out what is worong and make it right.
Frankly, in today's "yoga world" both East and West, both the "dharma" and the "dharmis" are fals e and corrutp to a griveous extent. This can be seen just by reading the gita and then looking at them. But those who inoculate themselves with the wisdom of the Gita wil be right and true, secure from catching the diseases of adharma, of unrighteousness. And they will find that the way of dharma is for them a joyful and easy path.
It's said that 'power corrupts', but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power: Whe they do act, they think of it as service, which has limits. The tyrant, though, seekks, mastery, for which he is insatiable, implacable.
If you notice a bribe has that effect---it changes a relation. The man who offers a bribe gives away a little of his own importance; the bribe once accepted, he becomes the inferior.
There is no odour so bad as that which arisies from goodness tainted.
