No "Aum Linga, Aum Linga"?
What is the use of his knowledge

Apparently Devils are very noisy and very, very smelly. I'd love to see one.

For some odd reason, smelly noisy people are bit too much for me. I think I will go with the Devil:

Hey Mods.
If you are so inclined please move this thread to the lounge.
Thanks.
In reading the scriptures, there are two kinds of mistakes:
One mistake is to cling to the literal text and miss the inner principles.
The second mistake is to recognize the principles but not apply them to your own mind, so that you waste time and just make them into causes of entanglement.
