Should truth be compromised ?

RAMAKRISHNA MISSION BOYS HOME

truth never needs any support not for the sake of anything . we can not just

modify the truth for even the sake of doing good to humanity or can we ; its

unity and will remain unity . believing in miracles or letting people belive

in miracles for the sake of doing good to people is like taking drugs or

allowing participants to take drugs in order to win in olympics marathon .

what ever might be the cause, even if we have a little amount of doubt about

the validity or invalidity of miracles we should not support it unless

reaching to the core of the issue. dont you think that this emotive ones or

the people having blind faith should be taken out of the grooves of the

tricksters.

My understanding of devotion(BHAKTI)yoga is same as your interpretation or

bhagvan ramakrishna i too believe in going to temples, going for pilgrimages

performing various austerities , pujas , havans , singing or listening to

bhajans etc. this let you to come closer to GOD , it is like forgetting

everything even yourself for the love of GOD(truth) this are the very

powerful means of purifying the mind , powerful tools for motivation and in

some form or the other are quite mandatory for reaching ultimate truth. but

this doesnt mean that if i or for that sake even the most uneducated person

on this planet should take support of magics if somehow i or he gets

diverted from the path of truth .

I think the fault is in us who think that truth is weak it needs support of

various means , magic , popularity , crowd support are not we similar to the

politicians whom we condemn the most, truth can emerge from us why not the

same truth can emerge from those who are poor, who have no means for

acquiring knowledge , dont you think that we ourself do not have enough

faith in power of great ramakrishna-vivekananda why do we fear of time as if

we are running out of time so let people like satyasaibaba give the message

of wisdom and we are there to back him up in this pure mission , but

mission using what means is not our concern. it is this thinking of ours

that manifests satya saibaba although for good cause but using wrong means

and as far as my understanding goes truth cannot emerge from miracles .

I am not trying to condemn satya sai baba or any body , i am just trying to

confirm that whether i am unknowingly , unconciously , unwillingly diverting

from the path of purification of soul.It might be possible that people like

myself(those who dont believe ) or believers of the satya saibaba are

unknowingly causing some damage to the society so please remove my

ignorance.

 

i am really sorry if i did hurt your feelings , if you think i am ignorant

and need some feedback in order to remove my ignorance i will be obliged to

recieve any of your mails . God(truth) pardon me if i m doing any unwanted

damage

hey lord give all of us the power to understand you completely we all want

to do some good may not arise in us ignorance give us the strength

hari om

>Your mail. I appreciate your views. Thakur did not want us to condemn

>anyone or look down upon anyone. Rationality has its foremost place, no

>doubt. But faith comes from tangible experiences. Mind can go only to a

>certain extent. For persons with education etc. rationality is no doubt

>necessary. But there is the other category of people who are, if I can

>say,

>emotive ones. For them there is a definite need for tangible results in

>Coming to Baba, I feel that he has done immense good to humanity in very

>many ways. He has attracted millions of people towards our culture and

>traditions. He has given hope to millions for living a good life and it is

>no easy task. He might use magic to bring about faith in him but the

>outcome of his work is for the greater good.

>Some in the garb of performing miracles, bring weakness in the minds of

>people and use innocents for their personal ends. But there are some (a

>handful only) who use their knowledge or tricks for the greater good. We

>sometimes scoff at those miracle-mongers. But the same is true of

>rationalists also. They do harm to others by taking away the only source

>Swamiji wanted us to become strong and rationalise; but he also gave equal

>within and jnani without, isn't it? In later years Swamiji went on

>pilgrimages and even performed the austeries and the traditional forms of

>penances just to show that he came to revive and not to destroy. You

>remember the incident when Miss.MacLeod commented in the houseboat in

>Kashmir when she saw the three marks on the forehead of Alasinga Perumal

>and

>pitied him. Swamiji roared and said 'hands off - if you can do something

>for

>my people do it; do not pity or show contempt (the wordings may not be
