Tim, if you are saying that everyone, including this Master, is under the

sway of Maya, so unable to prevent every possible mistake; that he

believed some village superstitions which are not scientfically

supportable, etc., no problem.

But if I take your statement literally, I have to beg to differ. If you

think this, read SRI RAMAKRISHNA, THE GREAT MASTER and imagine what his 12

years of sadhana must have done to his mind. In fact, your statement is

self-contradictory. If you do not doubt his Enlightened status, you realize

that his insight came from beyond the " mind " , don't you? Do you have

evidence that he might be mistaken in saying that spiritual consciousness

cannot be attained without the awakening of Kundalini?
