Remember, Blavatsky was no plaster saint. That is why she turned out to be
as great as she was.

Yes, yes...marriage is a hard thing.
NASRUDIN IN HEAVEN
Mulla Nasrudin was coming to after a serious operation. He was just
conscious enough to feel the softness of the comfortable bed and the warmth of gentle
hands on his forehead. "Where am I?" he asked. "In Heaven?" "NO," said his
wife, "I AM STILL RIGHT HERE WITH YOU."
NASRUDIN SEEKING PEACE:
Mulla Nasrudin and one of his friends were thinking one day to join the
army. "What makes you think to join the army?" asked the Mulla. "Well, I don't
have a wife and I love war," said the friend. "And why you are thinking to join
it?" "ME?" said Nasrudin. "I HAVE A WIFE AND I LOVE PEACE."

For some reason a scorpion hiding in the midst of Adyar is an interesting
metaphor, considering some of the stuff going on lately.
And yet, how wonderful it would have been if, while the Mahachohan had been
filling the skies of the ashram with hot air, a large, cream pie had
miraculously appeared and hit him in the face. I have a feeling that that
one thing
would have been the most salutary and instructive incident that could have
happened in Theosophy.
And it would have been very funny to see as well.

When the plane landed at Chennai last Friday, Mumbai was still under
a terrorist siege. The terrorists struck at the very touristic heart
of that city, near the famous Gateway of India. On Saturday morning,
when commandos of the National Security Guard finally cleared the
last hotel in which hostages were being kept, the total death toll
was over 170, with more than 300 people injured. There was widespread
shock and disbelief in India. But India always recovers from such
events.
Students from Slovenia, Finland, Canada, Australia, Hungary and India
are attending classes at the School of the Wisdom. The theme is "The
Mahatmas on Theosophy and the TS". There is half an hour of silent
meditation before the morning talk begins.
The different departments at Adyar are gearing up for the Convention
at the end of the month. There were strong rains and winds in the
last fortnight and some trees were uprooted.
I met the President briefly the day after my arrival. She was
preparing to go to a meeting at the Government House (Rashtrapati
Bhavan). She was invited by the Governor of Arunachal Pradesh to give
a speech during a book launch. She goes to the office both in the
mornings and afternoons.
The quiet and natural beauty at Adyar are refreshing. In one evening
I decided to go for a walk after dinner and took with me a small
torch. Near the coconut grove I met one of the many natural residents
at Adyar: a black scorpion. He (or she) was the sort of creature that
makes you pay careful attention. We had this silent meeting and I
then decided to part company with the illustrious resident when I
finally realized he was not going anywhere!
Some of the workers I had met in 1992 are still here and they
apparently remember me. The TS at Adyar has given employment to
generations of workers coming from the impoverished surroundings.
Many of their children have studied in the Olcott Memorial High
School.
One of the passages we examined recently at the School of the Wisdom
was:
"Shall we devote our selves to teaching a few Europeans fed on the
fat of the land, many of them loaded with the gifts of blind fortune,
the rationale of bell ringing, cup growing, of the spiritual
telephone and astral body formation, and leave the teeming millions
of the ignorant, of the poor and despised, the lowly and the
oppressed, to take care of themselves and of their hereafter the best
they know how. Never. Rather perish the Theosophical Society with
both its hapless founders than that we should permit it to become no
better than an academy of magic and a hall of occultism. That we, the
devoted followers of that spirit incarnate of absolute self
sacrifice, of philanthropy, divine kindness, as of all the highest
virtues attainable on this earth of sorrow, the man of men, Gautama
Buddha, should ever allow the Theosophical Society to represent the
embodiment of selfishness, the refuge of the few with no thought in
them for the many, is a strange idea, my brothers." (The Mahachohan's
Letter)
Walking around Adyar and its encircling neighbourhood helps us to
understand the words of that great Adept. There cannot be Theosophy
without a genuine sense of compassion towards those who are poor and
despised.
The rains have stopped, the work continues, the crows are everywhere
and Adyar continues to be pervaded by a sense of uncreated vastness
and peace. I miss my litlle black scorpion friend. Perhaps we shall
meet again. He has taught me to remain mindful. And he also goes to
sleep in the magic quiet of Adyar nights.
