View a video podcast discussing "the power to annotate"
A simple argument:
There is a difference between a person who has never drunk wine, a person who drinks a little, and a person who drinks a lot.
However, the difference between the person who has never drunk and the two who drink is categorical, whereas the difference between the two who drink is merely one of degree.
If you never drink, you can't become an alcoholic. If you do drink, even just a little, you are in the category of people who can become alcoholic.
Similarly: the difference between "not annotating Srila Prabhupada's books" and "annotating Srila Prabhupada's books" is one of category.
The difference between "a little clarification" and "philosophical deviation" is one of degree.
We are poised to take an irreversible step over the line of category and into the land of degree. Do we really want to do that?
HH Sivarama Swami's podcast?
In one of your posts regarding Srila Prabhupada's book annotations, you mentioned a podcast by HH Sivarama Swami. I googled this and searched Maharaja's blog and could not find anything. Could you provide me with a link?
Sorry for all the technical questions lately. It seems I am becoming increasingly incapable of properly utilizing the internet's searching capabilities.
