Wound Vacuum

In the medical field we have a machine called a wound vacuum. It does what it sounds like it does… it sucks out all the impurities in the wound bed, to allow it to heal. It “applies mechanical forces to the wound to create an environment that promotes wound healing.”

Why am I blabbering on about wounds… ok, I am a little nuts and I think they are fascinating… but also because it is a perfect example of what is going on in our beloved SCS Math. The crazies are creating a negative pressure and sucking all the impurities out.

Whenever the Guru leaves, there is a flux in the environment… the world is completely shaken up...all the impurities come to the surface, all those who no longer want to put their head at the feet of Guru raise their ugly little heads and try to take position. Like … like a surgical scar that is healed but again opens because of infection underneath. A dehiscence, for those who like new vocabulary.

So all these envious self-centered bastards have found their leaders… and those leaders are sucking them all in… separating the good from the bad. The dead tissue is being sucked out leaving those who are still faithful to Srila Gurudeva, Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev Goswami Maharaja and his VERY DIRECT--- no holds barred instruction that Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharyya Maharaja is THE acharyya of SCSmath.

So, are we going to heal? After the impurities have shown themselves, after the wound has opened and the impurities are gathering… are we going to be passive? Are we going to let whatever happens happen? Or are we going to be good wound care nurses and, although painful, cut out the dead tissue, let it be sucked up by the vacuum and encourage with tenderness the growth of clean healthy skin?
