Dear Ram Chandran,

thanks a lot for your detailed explanations, they helped me
to understand some aspects of your religion more than many
books I have read on the topic.

The problem is some other person was guided by the guru, I have
seen him few times and it was years ago. And lately I found the
person was misguided, and I am attempting to find why, especially -
by the guru or because of rejecting his teachings? Surely your
words will help me finding the answer, but there is still long
way to get it, maybe months or even years...

Well, I understand it. But I stated my point above - the matter
wasn't to get the answer, the matter was to know his heart.
