I have nothing to do with insurance companies dave. I agree with you statement about irrational decisions of the public factor as they are generally tormented and looking for escape. Goenka has just what they need so long as you accept whatever he says(including his own denial of what he says under the judgement of us peasants) and everyone just goes along with what the wankers in charge determine...directors. They are wankers at the top Dave. This 'organised' religious movement is not all that far removed from Scientology. Goenka( who doesn't fund the red cross or any charity that I am aware of) emphasizes serving others. He tells people in the meditation hall 'how it is' while they are deprived of sleep and his jokes wear thin after some time. I am a diabetic too. I would like to see this diabetic cure himself as he is a long time stream winner 'so called'. He is from a rich Indian family so let us see him serve some charity? Serve charity Goenka. Serve the homeless. Serve the servants.
