Advice from Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba & a note by Member of United theosophical lodge Bangalore

 

Sharing my exchanges with a fellow student on Sri Satya Sai :-

Quintessence of Theosophy

Divine

He's a great occultist, and teaches pure Raja Yoga. Deeply aligned with Theosophical teachings. And, inspires devotion.

I've heard hundreds of his disciples talks and incidents, and I tell you, only a handful have caught the true spirit of his teachings and purpose.

Most of them (esp Indians), have a narrow and damaging view of him, though deeply devoted.

Very few seem to grasp his inner intent and essence. Of all, I've found one Dr. John Hislop (a westerner, no surprise), who seems to have understood Baba right.

Western mind is such a wonder. So clear in its logical approach, comprehending the fundamentals before the peripherals, and articulating in simple sentences with no unnecessary words.

WQJs article "India a storehouse" shows how it is the "vigorous, curious" western mind which will "invade" india again but this time to take its philosophy and literature.

We Indian can only wallow in our own pride, like pigs in our sty of heritage and customs.

Hislops understanding of devotion to Baba is so inspiring. Close to what is mentioned in …..

Baba told Hislop how and why he shouldn't deal with chakras, and that anything related to pranayama is most dangerous.
