Beloved Bhakti,

Love. The gates of the temple are wide open - and it is only after thousands of years that such opportunity comes to this earth.

And, know well that they will not remain open for ever.

And, the opportunity can be lost very easily.

And, you are still wavering.

And, you are still hesitating - to enter or not to enter - to be or not to be.

I know that the challenge is great.

But I know also that your being is completely ready to take the jump.

Hence, my insistent call for you to come and enter.

And, this is not for the first time that I have called you - nor the first life.

I know you, Bhakti, since so many births.

And, soon you will also remember many things.

But not before the jump.

And only your superficial persona is resisting - not you.

And it is expected to resist always because the moment one takes the plunge into the unknown it has to die naturally.

So, please, do not identify yourself with it.

Be a witness to it.

And you will be in the jump.

Oh! It is time enough to die to the old ego and be reborn to the supreme self.

Happy and joyful holiday Purim

"Another point about morality, related to the Jewish holidays.
Most of them take their origin in the Torah.
Take, for example, the most beloved by adults and children, happy
and joyous holiday of Purim.
On this day, Jew is allowed to get drunk instill his nose goes blue.

"Over 500 years before Christ, in Persia, the Jews conducted the pogroms
[mass murder] of the local population, men, women and children.
Just in two days, they have destroyed 75 thousand unarmed people,
who could not even resist the armed attackers, the Jews.
The Minister Haman and his ten sons were hanged. It was not a battle of
soldiers, not a victory of the Jews in a battle,
but a mass slaughter of people and their children.

"There is no nation on Earth, that would have fun celebrating the
clearly unlawful massacres. Ivan, the hundred million, you know what
the Jews have on the tables on that day? Tell him, a Jew.

"On the festive table, triangular pastries, called homentashen,
which symbolizes the ears of minister Haman, and the Jews eat them
with joy.

Also on the table are other pies, called kreplah (Ibid), filled with
minced meat, symbolizing the meat of Haman's body, also being eaten
with great appetite.

If some normal person comes to visit them on that day, and learns
what it all symbolizes, he would have to run out on the street to
get some fresh air.

"This repulsive celebration, with years, inoculates their children
in their hearts and minds, with blood-lust, hatred and suspicion
against the Russian, Ukrainian and other peoples.

"Why do not Ukrainians begin to celebrate similar events, that
occurred in Ukraine in the 17th century. At that time Jews have
made a bargain with the local gentry for the right to collect taxes
from the peasantry.

They began to take from the peasants six times more than pans
(landlords) took. [That is 600% inflation in one day].

"One part of it they gave to pans, and the other 5 parts kept for
themselves. The peasants were ruined. The uprising against the Poles
and Jews was headed by Bohdan Khmelnytsky. [one of the greatest
national heroes in the history of Ukraine.]

"Today, Jews are being told that tens of thousands of Jews were
destroyed. If we take the example of the Jews, the Ukrainians should
have a holiday and celebrate such an event, and have the festive pies
on the table: "with ears of the Jews", "with meat of the Jews".

"Even if Ukrainian wanted to do so, he simply could not do it.
Because you need to have bloodthirsty rotten insides and utter
absence of love for people, your surroundings and nature."
