Apparently the question of Lia provoked quite a lot of reaction and I have already been asked many times to write about same sex relationships. I’m not planning to write a column about this issue but in my new book “The Winner stands alone” I mention a relationship between two women.

I’m intrigued though and I would like for you to discuss openly about what you think about same sex relationships.

Does the master not suffer with bad disciples?

A disciple asked Firoz:

- The mere presence of a master causes all sorts of curious people to gather round, to discover something beneficial. Can’t this be a hindrance and negative? Can’t this divert the master from his path, or cause him to suffer because he could not teach that which he wished?

Firoz, the Sufi master, replied:

- The sight of an avocado tree laden with fruit whets the appetite of all those who pass by. If someone wishes to satisfy his hunger beyond his needs, he will eat more avocados than necessary, and will be sick. However, this causes no indigestion to the man who owns the avocado tree.

"It is the same with our Search. The path must be open to all; but it is for God to set the limits of each individual."

Weekly Free Association : The Ring

The ring is traditionally the symbol of eternity and of perfection.

In ancient times in Greece and in Rome, only men of great value could use iron rings. Gold rings would in turn only be used by priests of Jupiter and later on warriors.

In the middle ages, the ring symbolized not only marriage but it was also used as a sort of amulet capable of healing those who would wear it. Dead people would also be ridden of their rings so that they could enter the heavens, unburdened by their human condition.

Rings have also caught the imagination since antiquity for their magical powers. Plato in his book The Republic mentions the story of a shepherd called Gyges that found a ring that would turn him invisible. Gyges, given this tremendous power manages to seduce the queen of Lydia and overthrow the king.

Now you take the floor – what do you associate with the ring?
