The inward journey peters out. Some exoteric paths seem not to

discourage it. Another matter. But Satsang is another ball game.

Guidence is sought in confidence. Much like public display emotion

(for some) is a no-no. In extreme esoteric paths, it is a game of

dice -- often. There stakes are high. The higher they are, the more

circumspect the seeker must be, or the world would come down on him.

It (the world) can be nice slaughter house.

Dear Sir,

 

It's personal incident, but ok, i will tell u....

 

I was in my class 5'th and my younger sister was in class 1'st in the

same school, she w'd come to me to have her tiffin with me, I had my

own friend circle, one day, she come to my classroom, called

me " Bhaiya .... " , I ignored her presence as my friend's sisters never

come to have their tiffin.

 

I was a very impressive boy in my school days, my friends didnt want

her with me in lunch time, i scolded my sister before all, her face

tutned yellow, her innocent eyes had tears rolling down and she run

back to her class,she didnt eat her tiffin .. i did.

 

I even didnt call her to come along with me to home, she remained

waiting there in class..., when i reached home, i didnt find her..

 

My mom asked me where is she ? I realized my fault, I ran to school,

where she was still sitting in her class weeping ...

 

This innocence and dedication made me weak forever.., i couldn't

forget my cruality, She is my strength too, when i was stuggling and

had no belief on God, I dislike visiting tempels, deriding prayers,

she was supporting me like a guide, saying " Bhaiya, You are wrong " ...

 

She always reminded me that i m not the crowd, She always wanted me

to find the stength within, to face the competition..., She

understood me and cared me a lot.

 

She didnt get visions like i got, doesnt know astrology, have not

read classics, but she is full of rare wisdom, when somebody or girl

addresses me with " Bhaiya " , I get lost in the sweetness of the term.

 

For 2 - 3 years, no girl called me " Bhaiya " , In delhi, all the tea

coffee vendors, three wheeler drivers, waiters etc .. are

called " Bhaiya " , Girls accopmpained with idiot Boy Friend, call

them " Bhaiya " ....

 

regards,

Lalit.

Aavesh,

You mean you approach every path/paramparaa with dis'passion'. Unlikely.

 

The misunderstanding thing in you mail is actually under-understanding. One attains over-understanding of one parampara and moves on (even above) to another. One may even be astride two (at least two) vehicles. So, it is not as if one is 'hinayaan' and the other is a 'mahayaan' -- or whatever is under-understood is 'vajrajaan'!

 

Paths meander and enmesh in mind-boggling ways. Show me a road that does meet or cuts thru another. Rarely will you find one going from one hut to another. (The hermitage is gone in age of interrnet mart. Don't despair as you have done in a later mail. Watch.)

 

 

But mind needn't boggle. If it does for long, it's signal it is time you grabbed hold of a walker's feet. (What say, Lalit?) Dattatreya was a jnanavataar of Shiva. A purnavataar as far as jnana is concerned, not purnavataar per se though.

 

 

Now shall we say: each his own; or Aavesh, a rolling stone? My case rests.

Good Morning Aarkayji,

 

Another brilliant mail from you Sir.

 

I am in full agreement with what you have said regarding the fact that Yogananda was fully qualified to write on his experiences regarding 'Siddhis' (In fact the book was written on the instructions of Mahavtar Babaji as many are aware)

 

 

Aghora is a different matter altogether.It is easily one of the least understood and much maligned systems today.

 

It is a real pity that a system which owes it's origins to Lord Dattatreya and Lord Shiva has been so grossly misunderstood and

misused

 

Personally speaking I tend to keep an open mind on spiritual practices (not being judgmental itself is a great virtue on this path)

 

As they to 'each his own'

 

 

Regards,

 

aavesh

Aavesh,

Excuse me my poesy. The incidental distinction I touched upon was between esoteric path(s) and non-esoteric ones. Not between dakshina and vaama. Where would you put the nocturnal court which the levitating Lahiri Mahasaya held, with fairies hovering above him and which was espied by his wife, or for that matter the session at the ghats of Benaras where Yogavatar, Mahavatar and the latter's sister met nightly? These were all yogis -- rajyogi of the highest order in modern times. You would agree that that was esoteric. Even kaulachaar should be requiring the adherent to keep his own counsel. When Yogananda does that (when he writes the autobiography), he shares his life experiences to the high end of edification of mankind. And that is after he has GONE THROUGH it all, much as a tathagata. Which is in order, not needing any defending.

 

The Aghora parampara marks out its boundary with 'prapancha' differently. That should explain the comparison and contrast and contest (the 'spardha') among certain adherents. Mark my use of the word 'prapancha'.

You have hardly confuted my account.

 

I have been using bold letters for words which significantly qualify what I say, please note, here as also earlier.

Namaskar AarkayDa and Lalit,

 

Sorry for intervening in your private discussions.

 

A couple of points:

 

(i)The debate whether one should reveal one's Siddhis has been there since time immemorial

 

 

(ii)As Aarkayji has pointed out in his poetic language (which goes over my head many a time) that the Dakshinmargi school of thought believes in keeping one's Siddhis to oneself

 

(iii)Vama Marga has the other approach.Here spiritual aspirants openly challenge each other and often there are duels to prove one's Siddhis.The much blamed and criticised Agohoris being part of this school of thought

 

(iv)Ultimately,it comes down to the individual and his relation with his Ishta (Personally speaking though I have always beleieved in Swami Yukteshwar Giri's approach. He never exhibited his Siddhis unless directed by a higher power to do so (This is vividly described by Yogananda in 'Autobiography of a Yogi')

 

 

This note is not to take up sides or criticise but just some observations from an interested observer of life's Maya !!

 

Regards,

 

aavesh

Dear Lalit,

The proscription on one's spiritual experience is premised on two well-founded tenets.

 

One, tongue-wagging doesn't enrich it. It cuts down introversion. The inward journey peters out. Some exoteric paths seem not to discourage it. Another matter. But Satsang is another ball game. Guidence is sought in confidence. Much like public display emotion (for some) is a no-no. In extreme esoteric paths, it is a game of dice -- often. There stakes are high. The higher they are, the more circumspect the seeker must be, or the world would come down on him. It (the world) can be nice slaughter house.

Two, much of 'That' is ineffable -- anirvachaniya. ('That' is a vedic favourite as a referent)

No Sir,I was always single and alone, rahu in 11'th makes sure no frinds....., i was misunderstood for my straightforward uncanny talks , but i had to do such talks, otherwise, this time when it's accepted that spirituality is a gone thing, has no application in real life, those who are spiritual are outdated antique .. people and particularly narrowminded indian girls and reporters of confused news

papers like times of india, I decided to put everything as it is, without no mixing.Still there were threats to taken as egoists or self promoting person coz putting truth, truth being most unusual things and particularly when every body has a fixed frame of mind, taken as a egoist is obvious. but truth is absolute, some elders asked me not to tell spiritual experiences openly otherwise i can loose them, why even in the lap of the moher god one will care loss and gain ? at least in spirituality there is no loss.. cant be there.regards,Lalit.
