The problem of mistrustfulness


For some reason, some people still cannot accept that I had a personal relation with Sri Aurobindo; instead of taking the chance to reflect on the messages and visions which were meant for them too, they prefer to think that it was not Sri Aurobindo himself but some kind of vital being which took his features to mislead me and the people to whom the visions were directed. (The visions were meant to be public by express wish of the Master).
Evidently, they did not bore in considering the tenor and quality of visions and messages, much less they grasped at my personal trajectory.

The devil or evil of mistrustfulness is, especially in self-thought integral yoga or Sri Aurobindo´s followers, a real danger, and we can plainly talk of a real obsession, directed or suggested (and unconsciously accepted),  by such kind of devils or dark forces, or else beings from a darker vital.

This people end up by following without any kind of control whatever is unconsciously suggested to them because they have some kind of opening in their mental aura,  but of course they are not really innocent because they hold their intellectual scrutiny in high esteem.

"Some people want to be taller than others by cutting their heads!" said once Sri Yukteswar.

The fact remains that they may turn themselves poorly arrogant and unable to accept that someone else other than themselves may have reached or discovered something they couldn´t, this kind of people is never in the disposition to accept that someone may have gone farther than themselves.

Of course, it is a childish and even unhealthy way of thinking, and I mean it literally, because when I was taken to Auroville in my subtle body by Sri Aurobindo, I could  witness how such aura was  suffocating and unbearable to the point of getting almost sick from its emanations. (You can read the whole experience in my post of 8/10/13, "The Hour before the Gods Awake".


The fact remains that it is a very dangerous practice which will bring them many problems and ultimately represent a serious obstacle in their yoga.
