Theos-Talk Archives (January 2004 Message tt00251)

Dear Morten and good night all!

Yes and Yes.
We theosophers collect so much writing, so many books, so many quotes, givelectures and so on... but at the end ,we´re still afraid of this transition called death.
Are some of us afraid of all this stuff heard and read in the theosophy world be not completely true, such as the seven fold contituition of man and it´s working in the higher planes?
Do we act like Nasrudin sons?

Hallo all,

My views are:

A little reminder to the interested parties at this place:
--- Mulla Nasrudin and academic knowledge ---
'Nasrudin was keen to offer his two sons a decent education. With this in
mind, he sent them away to be educated at the country's highest seat of
learning.
When, years later, the sons returned as fully-fledged philosophers, he
decided to test their skills.
'Take this saddle and place it on my donkey,' he said to the academics.
Instead of carrying out the simple task, the philosophers sat down and
started to discuss the problem from all angles. By dusk, they had still not
managed to reach a decision.
'Just as I thought!' said their dispirited father. 'All this theoretical
knowledge makes you about as intelligent as the donkey itself!'
