Theos-Talk Archives (February 2006 Message tt00323)

Hallo Carlos and all,

My views are:

1.
Yes some true students will do so.
True students are not attached so much to the dead-letter.


Question:
But do you agree on, that
Not all Theosophists are true students when they are starting as Seekers
and become social in theosophical circles?

Question:
So you disagree with this sentence in my previous email?
"The real Teachers of today use present day teachings adapted to
time, place, people and circumstances."

After all, why did HPB together with Morya and a few others write the book 
in the
manner they did back in the good old days.
One could contemplate, why they needed to write a book in that manner at 
all.


2.
On Nasrudin I would answer: No, not as I understand what you write.

Instead of me answering you more precisely, I would offer you some 
experiences,
so you can draw your own wise conclusion:
If you want to learn more about Nasrudin you could read the books by Idries 
Shah.



3. My views is:
Some readers at this place are more attached to the dead-letter reading
than they themselves are aware of.


*******

THE SEVEN KEYS
Mulla Nasrudin was telling his friends in the tavern one day about his 
family.
"Nine boys," he said, "and all good, except Abdul. HE LEARNED TO READ."

M. Sufilight with a laugh...wondering why he wrote this email...
