" I Can Be Good or I Can Be Bad"

Hey, great crowd---now stop crowding me! Nah, I kid because I revere!!

Apropos of nothing, of all the Beatles I've always revered Paul---KM likes his little puns now and again---I promise I won'do it again!
but from what I've seen so far, the Raiders could use Paul Revere to wake them up!!
Okay, I indulged in untruth.

Today's pompo...pontif...sermon will address the question of duality in earthly existence, as symbolized by the well-known image of the Yin Yang (Hindu for "You can't win for losing")--although you may receive a consolation prize and a parting gift.

Krishna to the M to the O to the R to the T to the Y (shout out to mah crew)) is often asked to the point of giving someone a painful noogie "Explain to us again how good and evil are both part of the same divine plan!!"
"Okay, one more time, you're saying that evil, monstrous, horrible, unbearably tragic events, by the hand of nature or of man, are cosmic catalysts toward the ultimate realization of each soul of Nirvana??!!"

Okay already!! Give a Guru a break!! I get it!!! It's a toughie to swallow!!

Today, yours Holy will explain the idea in all its intricate simplicity (KM also likes oxymorons (No not Billy Mays)!!

Pay close attention to my power point presentation(if I remember to take my Cialys tonight--KM enjoys an occasional naughty, if obvious line)

My holiness will take a few tragic events and demonstrate how good ultimately resulted from them.
Obversely, I shall do the obverse (ol' KM also enjoys redundant nonsensical sentences).

So, in summing up, can we not see that 'April showers will bring May flowers, but these flowers may wind up on someone's roadside memorial in June'?

Or as my revered father SwamihowIluhvu would say, "Go figure!!"

Till next time, May you reach Nirvana an hour before the IRS man knows you're gone.
