Do We Have to Wait to Be Attacked?
Do We Have to Wait to Be Attacked? One person commented to me in Kartik 2006 that the value of WVA will only be realized where we have some common urgency to defend. If some of us are attacked by some external madness, our only strength will come about when we unite to defend ourselves. I think we are already under full attack. Material illusion is advancing at a rapid pace.

When faults in others misguide and delude you - have patience, introspect, find faults in yourself.
