Oh so true. Until the message is "I love you" LOL
Your poetically wise observation outlines the power of words so finely Suresh -- its message states truth
with short-line skill I have always admired.
Agreed – and therein lies the problem, doesn’t it Suresh. The message cannot be detached from the messenger, whose identity must always be taken into consideration.
Had to think a little about this and for me it was rather early in the morning – your timing wasn’t up to much, mate……
Our inability to divest ourselves from the messenger, precludes us from unfettered understanding and the message remains obscure.
I do appreciate your input
I think you are disagreeing with me, aren't you Suresh?
The trouble is that the message itself doesn't exist in a vacuum. The message exists to be understood and utilised in some way. It is imperative that the who the why and the when be taken into account.
Can you show me a particular message you have in mind?
Yes - I would appreciate your further input.
if the message resonates, the who, where, when and how become incidental, and the messenger, only an instrument
Sorry Suresh - that I cannot see any way I can agree with you.
No hard feelings?
If you want to continue, I'm up for it - but although I feel this issue as very important, the general tolerance for this kind of debate is not great at MPS.
So very true suresh.

I've often tended to the other way - the character of the messenger more important than the characters of the message.
Orchi never in my wildest dreams would I believe I could agree with you so comprehensively.
What is to be done about this?
His message has become an integral part of you. Does their meaning diminish in His absence? If yes, then everything becomes irrelevant, if no, then that’s your sacred text.
Dunno Dave. Must be a miracle! lol.
in truth, I dont think they come any truer ..
