Ashram associates as free lancers

Dear S,

It is difficult to contest the points you have raised and especially Ashram associates behaving like free lancers is a matter of concern. In the absence of any official communication from the Ashram, opinions of the present set of self-appointed spokespersons are likely to be accepted as authentic and trustworthy. This is an anomalous situation. Because when they ridicule outsiders, it’d also be considered as divinely sanctioned. Ashram gets a bad name in the process, and the devotees are left confused.

Just now I read a post by Raman Reddy pontificating, “outside the institution and inside it” without realizing that he himself is flagrantly flouting it. [TNM]
