Why is it that people should find it so difficult even to conceive the depth and glory of the nature of mind? Why does it seem to many such an outlandish and improbable idea?

I have no hard feelings or grudges about you or your decisions to leave. (or for ISCKON for that matter. I have forgiven and forgotten. I have almost zero connections ...
