Benedict's Rule Questions

4. Monasteries that kept to Benedict's Rule could be considered very useful institutions because they promoted peace and good will towards men. In the section "Of the Reception of Guests", Benedict says "Let all guests that come be received like Christ Himself", demonstrating an emphasis on charity, thereby bettering society.
5. In the section "On The Daily Manual Labor", Benedict states "If, however, the needs of the place or poverty require them to labour themselves in gathering in the harvest, let them not grieve at that". This demonstrates a sense of responsibility to labor, showing that the economy was relatively stable, but was sometimes in desperate need of the help of monks.

"I do not enjoy Bahkti poetry, Sam-I-Am. I do not like green eggs and ham."

The poems were all love poems. If anything they were a devotion to the Kama Sutra. There was only one poem I felt that really reflected the Bahkti movement and Hinduism, and the rest were about love, or food (Don't get me wrong, I love both love and food, but it just doesn't reflect Hinduism)
