Misery

[Jordi Valero]

Whenever any sublime teaching appears on earth, there are emerging new sects appropriating of them. Appear crackpots claiming to be the reincarnation of the great Masters and, as always, are often surrounded by poor dupes who blindly believe their delusions. And those who, seriously, study and follow these teachings, are labeled as liars by them.

Yes, certainly, human misery knows no bounds.

[kalpana]

Yes human misery and foolishness knows no bounds.
The Divine Grace also knows no bounds and it is this Grace that will dissolve human misery and foolishness.
It is said that real gold stands the test of time. Baser substances decay. Thus it is with 'authentic' and 'non-authentic' teachings.
People seek fake/authentic 'messiahs/avataars' to do the work of transformation for them.
Even if a hundred such people exist, what good is it to me, if I do not make an effort, for myself?
Mother has said 'to worship is good, but to be is better'.
People who either claim to be reincarnations of Mother and Sri Aurobindo do not offer one iota of the intelligence and depth of the Masters teachings.
Similarly those who write biographies of Mother and Sri Aurobindo, which reduce the Masters' lives to the lowest common denominator, do not add anything of spiritual value.
I greatly value Barin's blogs because they offer a very serious and thoughtful selection of the Masters works for reflection and consideration.
