PERSONALISTIC APPROACH

Friends,
Personalistic creeds and devotion to the personality of "Masters" are parts of the problem, not of the solution. And it has been so for thousands of years.
The 1900 Letter -- a generous 'last farewell' document -- comments this topic. It says:
"How few are they who can know anything about us. Are
we to be propitiated and made idols of. IS THE WORSHIP OF A NEW
TRINITY MADE UP OF THE BLESSED M., UPASIKA AND YOURSELF TO TAKE THE PLACE OF EXPLODED CREEDS. WE ASK NOT FOR THE WORSHIP OF OURSELVES." (1)
Only water can be clearer than this -- as the popular saying in Brazil goes.
Best regards, Carlos.
