Change of Title

This is the third version of this blog. Originally it was to be narrated by Shantananda from the afterlife. I thought that I'd heard once that he had taken a sankalpa that the School would reach realization, and that therefore we should "Free His Holiness" by understanding his teaching better. He would be unable to merge with the Absolute until we did. Later I found the source of that (1982), and it turned out that Mr MacLaren had taken the resolution, while His Holiness offered his support as a man of nisankalpa. Which of course makes more sense.

So the title now is "Free the Teaching".

Free it from the bonds of our preconceptions - let it go free and free the School from the past. Let us find, as Adi Shankara says, "a just and honest relation with and in the world".
