One hour in my life: open my email. A confidential letter from xxx about yyy. Another letter by bbb complaining about qqq gurukula. A letter of rebuttal about qqq gurukula. Another letter about zzz zonal secretary. A nice letter from zzz.

Fortunately I don’t have to deal too much with sticky issues. I send the first letter off confidential to someone who should be informed. I ask www about the history of bbb and how to deal with the complaint.

Committees or ministries have in most cases been formed by dedicated devotees (whom I suppose like tackling difficult problems) to handle the contentious and prolonged issues and they come up with the decisions or choice of decisions. That makes life for the EC much easier.

I go through the rest of the morning’s twenty letters. Most were about devotee scholars exchanging views on the using the word “prabhu” for women and the meaning of literal translation and hermeneutics (interpretation—a word which I just looked up in the dictionary. That’s my knowledge for the day.)

Now I am free for the rest of the day, unless forty letters appear in the evening.
