Could it be him? - its a matter of perception !

[Guest guest]

Respected Swamin:

 

Does it really matter? Our dearest Mahan with whom we are all are

intimately familiar with, and who is our guiding spirit cannot be

misrepresented. Like in all matters, there will be a few who will always do

the opposite, continue to commit mistakes, exhibit ignorance, and cause

misunderstandings, sow seeds of doubt, indulge in false propaganda and so

on.

 

What we must constantly remember IMMEDIATELY on encountering such false

information and , false knowledge is the HOLY TIRUVADI and HE will take

care.

 

Further, we cannot question or doubt ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING our Mahan has

done/wriitten/talked about. Even assuming the most impossible news that

indeed HH did write about demi gods, it must be true/correct and

appropriate since He can never be wrong. Everything he writes, does and

speaks is with a clear purpose is divine.

 

The writer has often come across such instances and the simpliest expedient

is :Whenever you hear any such thing consider yourself as fortunate since

you are hearing the Mahan's name. Ignore the association with other

objects and associated references. Just savour the fact that you have been

blessed to hear His name. Dwell on the sweetness and goodwill inside you

which can be experienced as soon as you consider this bounty.

 

Avoid arguments and justification with such persons with whom you come in

contact. Do not try to protect the 'sampradaya' for the simple reason that

the 'sampradaya' itself has emanated from such Mahan souls that it is not

possible to eradicate or put it down. The sheer greatness of the Mahan

itself will sustain the 'sampradaya'. Just rejoice in being associated

with the Tiruvadi and the Mahan's eternal overseeing of all of us.

 

Its all a matter of shift of focus. If you constantly dwell on the

Mahan's name, then nothing will matter.

Dear all,

A friend passed on this information about a review of a book on Sai

Baba. This presumably was written by one V.N. Vedanta Desikan. I dont

think that the Swamin we know well in our sampradAyam would stoop to

such a level to write a review on demigods. However, it seems some

people are identifying with this mahan and misrepresenting his

position. Could somebody clarify?
