Stange...i seem to get the impression Krishna & Christ were all about recognition that a higher purpose reigns over personal desires?
--------------------
"Only if one knows the truth of love, which is the real nature of Self, will the strong entangled knot of life be untied. Only if one attains the height of love will liberation be attained. Such is the heart of reality. The experience of Self is only love, which is seeing only love, hearing only love, feeling only love, tasting only love & smelling only love, which is bliss"

purpose and politics bring viral memes to the front page of any society; and as the events pass, the stories are embellished to increase the power of the memes.
a well balanced viral meme is something to admire and treasure.

This is true of all humanity. No matter what we say.

I gather that the "higher purpose" is the personal desire in every case.
