It was complete and perfect, and I appreciated many aspects of what you said, and will take them to heart. One was staying in association with those who are experiencing the happiness of hearing and chanting together, and how that carries us to a higher position, and also recognizing the pernicious effects of blasphemy. In the second-to-last sentence, you described blasphemy as a fall-down, and also that it makes us feel bad when we blaspheme. You had advocated for being aware of the effect of it. It made me think of the way we conduct ourselves in regular life. We become aware of what resonates with us. For instance, with our health, if we eat in a certain way, we know, although temporarily it may satisfy some urge, but later we'll feel crummy because we ate something that wasn't very good. And if we become aware of the fact that it's not a pleasant experience, blaspheming others, then we may hesitate just for our own self-preservation or knowing how it makes us feel. And I really liked how you described it as an expression of the polluted false ego. That phrase just makes me think of the persona, when I think of the personification of the false ego, expressing itself, maybe as a caricature, and being deeply polluted and pontificating on the faults of others.
