(p.329)– I shall not sing the endless songs and poetry <strong>of</strong> Vedas, Puranasand Shastras. I shall play a steady tune on the flute <strong>of</strong> love <strong>of</strong> theFormless One, Whose abode is Eternal.

Given how great the problems are, andhow difficult the task is, I have nothing but admiration for theseindividuals for taking the bold step. I am sure a lot <strong>of</strong> mistakes will bemade, but I am also sure a lot <strong>of</strong> good will come out <strong>of</strong> their effort.Let us be complimentary <strong>of</strong> them, and <strong>of</strong>fer any assistance wecan as lesser mortals (here I speak for myself) to improve the wellbeing<strong>of</strong> our community.Let us not suspect their motives, or cast aspersions, or think orspeak any negative thoughts. Just wish them chardi kala and pray fortheir success.
