Pearl Before Swines
"I consider Amma to be the greatest musician alive. Not only for her sense of melody and rhythm and for her enormous body of work, but for the Magikal link that she has created with her audience. She has brought millions of people into a web of service to the highest and to humanity. There is no Rock and Roll musician who has ever achieved this. She has generated over 55 million dollars with which she has built hospitals and orphanages for the poor. She is relentless in her energy and her pursuit of harmony on earth. And like Mother Theresa she takes very little for herself. She doesn't sign autographs but physically embraces every one of her fans who come to her. Think about that for a moment. We are talking about thousands upon thousands of people a year whom she embraces - it is a near physical impossibility. I think all rockers should pay her a visit and just watch with an open mind and allow the lesson that she lives and breathes to permeate them. There is no greater path than the path of service. It rises above all doctrines and religions. In light of this I sometimes wonder whether we even need another rock star, with their selfish eccentricities, their narrow egohood and even their fickle and weakly sense of charity, which usually arises from some sort of guilt complex. A great Shaman once said "one poor person shames us all". The whole of the music business participates in "shaming us all" - there are some who give and find joy in service, e.g.; Bono is moving in the right direction with his work on getting debt relief for some of the poorest countries. But for the majority of you musician / multi millionaire's, you should be ashamed of yourselves! I do not look up to you, Go see Amma, and know that you are shameful! It is a shame that the beautiful music that you made should turn you into nothing more than unclean dogs! And you who are called 'music business executives' with your false pride and lack of talent - you too shame us all! There is so much you could do but you are as blind as worms."
I spit on your crapulous creeds.
I have had the good and sad fortune of hanging out with your 'stars'. Some of them are my friends, and I have seen your groveling fake smiles, your air kisses, your weak handshakes, your limp embraces, and your false pride - look at yourselves! You are just like vampires, yea like vampires!
Oh holy mother of Love, you who give your self to all with out doubt, please forgive us all for we are no more than meaningless sentences in the book of lies!!
