The moral of the story is _this_ one: before giving a label to a
writer like Vyasa, please look at what else you have to say. If a poet
writes lots of poems on the anatomy of the spiritual renaissance and
then gets your hatred for his plight in expressing the inexpressible
Truths, just call it Bhagavadgita and leave it there.
