what is it that happens to a person when he/she is met by the public with adulation? i've seen a man eaten alive by his own idea of how holy he was. i've watched folk throw loved ones away to adore at the fungus on a guru's feet. O Fame, adoration... "there is the holy one!."...O. O...oh no! projection... to carry a crowd's need ....Does the heart shut down? Do the eyes look back in the mirror? Does the head swell up, like a helium balloon, and lift the feet right off the earth? keep me humble, Lord and Lady, whatever You give me to do.
