To Krishtar: About Anand's Latest "Answers"

Krishtar,
Concerning what Anand writes which reads:
"Khrishtar,
I answered Daniel's questions long back. After lot of debate he
accepts some part of answers. But problem is after eight or fifteen
days he again asks same questions. So I can't waste time in
explaining same thing every week.
Apart from that these things are not as simple as Daniel and many
members think. Why Masters say certain thing can not be understood
unless one has great wisdom. Daniel and most other members take
literal meaning of Masters' every sentence. Literal meaning and
actual meaning are not always same. In case of Leadbeater and Besant,
literal meaning and actual meaning are generally same. So they are
more suitable for ordinary reader."
As I'm sure you also know, Anand has not replied to these
questions and issues. If by chance I am wrong, I would like
to know where his answers are!
As to his contention that things are not as "simple" as many of us
think, this is as far as I can see simply a dodge on Anand's part.
The Masters are pretty clear as to what they are writing and it
appears that Anand simply wants to avoid the obvious meaning because
it conflicts with what he wants to believe.
The important thing is that interested readers now have the issues
laid out before them at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/theos-talk/message/24451
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/theos-talk/message/24452
and they can decide for themselves.
It is interesting that Anand admits that "In case of Leadbeater and
Besant, literal meaning and actual meaning are generally same."
Therefore when Leadbeater states positive things about H.P.B., you
would think Anand would accept them!
I wonder what Anand REALLY thinks in the privacy of his own
thoughts.....
