Question:
Is it frustrating to have gone from being able to interact with people on a casual basis, to having now found yourself behind a network of protection from which you are unwittingly walled in and limited in how much you can do and respond to? My analogy is of the rock star who starts by playing pubs and clubs and is close contact with those he is trying to reach, but in reaching becomes a victim of his success, no longer able to interact on a direct level - more a myth to the public and a prisoner to his work.   I very much enjoyed being in your presence at Glastonbury a year or so ago.

Answer:
Your assessment of my situation is right.  In the past, the limitation was that the teaching only reached a small number of people.  Now, it is reaching millions and I am for the most part not able to interact with people personally anymore.  This would indeed be frustrating if I didn’t know and accept that every situation one encounters will bring its own limitations. For everything gained, there is something lost. For everything lost, there is something gained. That’s just part of the world of form.
