Reasonable -- Examples of obsessive compulsive behavior? – 9/20/01
pub78.ezboard.com/fsrfwal...D=20.topic

Having lived in the ashram for a time, the mind boggles about listing behaviors which conform to this diagnostic criterion. The ashram is built on it... But what good will it do? Do we dump SSRI's in the water?? Honestly, I want to believe it will do good, but denial is a way of life there -- it is sanctified. Is it just for our personal therapy? God knows I would do anything to help a soul like that poor monk left with only 500 bucks.

One young nun who left recently was told by Ma "not to come asking for money!" She was offered $400 and was given more only after explaining that she would be moving into a homeless shelter for women in Pasadena. The sickness and denial in the ashram culture prevents their finding a way to admit that good people do come and go and establishing a way to help them make the transition back to the "world." Supposedly Vishwananda is looking into this but the proof is in the pudding. And the pudding is flat.
Pardon me, I have digressed...My point remains that obsessive compulsive is pervasive -- engrained in the fiber of ashram life to the point that it is not questioned.
