J.Krishnamurty and Sri Aurobindo

Both Jiddu Krishnamurty (1895-1986) and Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950) demonstrated that their was a "demolishing"  yoga.They unfairly ended up with traditions and older structures disposing the yoga in terms of actual, dynamic and meaningful issue.

They shared some fifty years on earth and yet it seem they never existed for each other! How could it be!
They never mentioned each other.

                                                  

But their purpose was exactly the same!
Krishnamurty, a great achiever and a great yogi, was that revolutionary as to never mention the word "yoga" which in his view could be simply substituted by the word "life", which was to him an accustomed alternative.

But even without mentioning each other, Sri Aurobindo, not too far, was stating that
"All Life is Yoga".
That was the reason for Krishnamurty not to mention the word "yoga", because for him too, life was yoga.
From the most complex to the most simple, in them was realized the synthesis of thousands of years of spiritual search.
As mirror of each other they shared  the knowledge of yoga and life, Sri Aurobindo synthesizing the Yogas and Krishnamurty synthesizing life itself.
They never mentioned each other because they where but one thing.

They unified thoughts and events.
Life, -had- to be yoga.
It was not a quest anymore. It was a verification.
We finally understood irrelevant -where- to practice yoga and search for the Spirit, as yoga was everywhere much as life was.
We were immersed in a life which was yoga we new it or not!
Planets or plants and seasons were already doing their yoga, it was only "us" the problem.
So it was only question of awareness.
Not a search, a quest, a discipline, a religion, a going far at the end of life with immortality, but a change, a shift, that could be possible here and now.
More, it could be only possible into the here and now.
Not everywhere else. That simple.
They resolved thousands of years of spiritual quest into a trip that never started, because it was all into the here and now.
Only superficial observers would consider their teachings different or in opposition, Sri Aurobindo put the final word about the intricate matter of yogas and synthesized them into a new version, and Krishnamurty added what remained unspoken. A vision of life so simple that could only be true.
So what´s the difference between Krishnamurty which never spoke of supermental light as he never spoke of yoga too, and Sri Aurobindo?
You convene with me, none.
Because the Teaching has to be intended as a -synthetic- teaching where each true Master add a new perspective of but one same Truth.
They are opposed only in our mind.
The Synthetic vision is not a new invention of my own, it started when Sri Aurobindo and Krishnamurty synthesized Life and Yoga, so we can but follow on this evolutionary path of the consciousness.
It is an inclusiveness of sight able to discern the truth in each,  not the differences, as the differences are exactly what makes realization a fundamental personal option and possibility depending on personal tendencies.
A man of action may not be inspired by a life of contemplation, but  his action worth that of the other as they fulfill their own tendency and necessity of expression.
**********************************************
It seems there is a record of a desfavourable comment made by Sri Aurobindo about Krishnamurti.
I´ve never seen it personally, I could not found more references, but on what I remember it was made in 1940.
I wish to state here a few things.
I´ve often observed that the disciples around Sri Aurobindo presented a different register of a same conversation held at a given day at the Ashram, sometimes words or phrases are completely different, and I do not consider this comment on Krishnamurti supposedly said by Sri Aurobindo was:
1) actually said by himself
2) with that same words
3) it was words put in the mouth of Sri Aurobindo by some disciple which had not a fine feeling towards Krishnamurti
4) Sri Aurobindo had discontinue information about Krishnamurty

It is known to me that Sri Aurobindo was a bit critical about the necessity that european people had to rapresent the wisdom of Asia (Theosophical Society, Olcott etc.).
Surely Sri Aurobindo did not know personally Krishnamurti but rather read about him on the press, a press that at that time did not look at English people with a favourable eye, and what Sri Aurobindo did read was certainly critical about the "cooperation" of Krishnamurti with the Theosophical Society.
Eventually Sri Aurobindo did not approve Krishnamurti as was presented by the Teosophical Society, but that must have been a consideration born by a discontinue information about Krishnamurti, which in 1929 had already dissolved the Order of the Star, while the comment of Sri Aurobindo seem to be given in 1940. And possibly Sri Aurobindo had not any more recent news about Krishnamurti.

Sri Aurobindo died in 1950 and Krishnamurti in 1986, from the date of the comment 1940) till the death of Krishnamurti there are 46 years.
This is almost half a century, and I wonder what an integral yoga follower would say if someone said that he or she would not make any progress in his/her spiritual development for half a century.
Would be that even possible?
What I mean is that people take often commentaries has something granitic and unmovable only because said by a reputed person, as if there was not any possibility that Krishnamurti would advance a single step in half a century.
Now, I rather think that Krishnamurti since the dissolution of the Order of the Star has done a great work, to be traced into his memories, the memories of people close to him (Mary Lutyens), his talks and the foundation of the schools.
If someone, after reading about Krishnamurti´s life and his teaching thinks that this man has some problem with his own ego, well, I say that this person would be a complete ignorant and unable to grasp the spiritual value of anything at all.

Healing & Death in the Subtle World, a true experience

One of the most remarkable experiences of service I ever had while in conscious sleep, was the trespassing of the veil of death with my subtle body. I am sure the experience was assisted by some Being but, as often happened, at that moment I was not aware of beings and/or mechanisms of attunement: simply, after put the  physical body to sleep, I was again conscious in my mental body in a strange place, as a subtler counterpart of Earth, and I was in the counterpart of a physical place existing somewhere on earth, though night time there, my sight could pierce through the darkness because of some kind of light which faintly glowed from the objects, from the rocks and the sea, and from the sky, not the sun-light, but their own light.

But even there was nighttime, so at first I could not properly understand where I was and much less what I was doing there nor why I was there, I trusted the Presences which were so active with me during that period of teaching.

It was a group of tiny rocky islands, and I was on one of them, at my right at a distance there was a  small group of glowing beings together with a few which were less luminous but which I identified as humans because of their triune flame in the middle of their breast. The whole group was enveloped in a faintly light which enlightened the surrounding.

I was still unable to understand, then a voice coming from the group telepathically suggested me "an airplane had landed there".

It was impossible even for a small airplane to land there, so I understood the voice was fairly referring to a tragic accident, and suddenly my understanding opened on the meaning and reality of what I was seeing.

Then I noticed the blond woman close to me.

I could perceive the whole of her psychological atmosphere, her whole being was open to my perception, and I could not avoid to feel an intense human concern on her grievous situation.

She was sitting all alone on a rock by the sea, staring intensely at the bottom, which was visible thanks to its own light, undoubtedly a wonderful spectacle to observe.

She was ( had been till recently) young, beautiful, had an accommodate existence, life was smiling to her with the promise of a next marriage with the man she loved, she imagined a long happy life, children and many dreams and beautiful expectations to fulfil. She had never give a thought to death, at least not her death, and now Death was suddenly there, unexpectedly.

But she could not accept it. She was blocked there. She could not go farther and join the group waiting for her.

That happy and plentiful life had been suddenly severed, and that had been too much for her.

In a few steps I was by her side and said: Excuse me, which is your name?
She got up turned to me and kindly answered: C. (her name).

(Now, I don't know what she could see of me but I guess she was seeing the same that I could see, and I could see how our figures differed:  she was a beautiful tall lady, evidently North-American, and I looked as a shorter Mediterranean man, it all looked as I was pretending some advance).

In a tone of concern and conspiracy I  whispered:  C. do you think they have spaghetti here?...

The idea of a Mediterranean man only worried about spaghetti in such a circumstance must have seemed terribly hilarious to her, because she started laughing and could not stop anymore. I had the impression she could die again but this time of laughing.

But something had happen.
The block had gone.
I saw  things fast changing.

We both got enclosed within the light of the beings, they were actually waiting for her, I understood they were guides of that world, concerned with recently died people, now I could better observe the differences among them.

We started a flight all together at vertiginous speed across a red luminous space in which at a certain moment one of the group left us, the male recently dead.

We continued at that speed till that  red space abruptly ended. On the other side, a huge dark universe without light in it, only, very far away at enormous distance, at the very end of that dark extension, it glowed the promise of a white light.

A vehicle was waiting the group.
It looked like as a space ship of modest dimensions of more rounded shapes than the man-made ones.
Beautiful in its gender.

C. and the other human, together with their guides took place within the ship, but I was said I was not allowed inside  but could instead accommodate myself in one of the cabins on the fuselage.

I did and the cabin was sealed.

The flight was as astonishingly fast as silent. Sealed in the cabin, I was perfectly aware of the incredible experience I was living and of the fact that I had not the smallest idea of how to be safely back again in my body, I wanted to believe the wisdom which had done all that surely had a solution for me too.

The journey abruptly ended on a dark moon, a small planet without atmosphere, no sounds, no stars in the sky. There was something like a building, I had the clear perception that it was a hall, a receiving place for souls in transit, I suddenly was aware of the presence of a larger number of people inside the hall. 

My impression was right, because I saw C. and the other human were transferred inside the building.

While C. was entering the hall I felt a warm current of love from her reaching my heart, she was thinking of me, thanking me and sending me her last farewell.

Then my attention started to become clouded, I soon lost consciousness of the subtle world, the next, I awoke in my physical body.

The Synthetic Vision

A synthetic vision which gives us the whole sight of the different approaches to the Divinity is not only worth having but necessary.
Because in it the human being founds all the answers which needs.
A mind which only is able to see an approach at a time, even, an individual which is not able to see that fundamental truth not only in religion, but in other ambit too, is not equipped for the Larger Synthesis which invades the Mind and the Heart with its reality as soon as we allow it to express itself.
Yes, to allow to express itself, because that vision is inherent to any human being and there is no need to go to search for it in complicate doctrines, it is only a question of let it be.
That <distance> we create between what really is and ourselves, is the shadow we each project between <us> and that Central Being, the fictitious reality in which we lose contact with the things true.
That central being is not a reality only in oneself but in each self and out of the self, an objective existence independent by our own vision, as evidently, the fact we may not perceive it, it is not synonymous that it do not exist, but only of the fact we aren´t able to perceive it, because its existence will continue on even without our own concur.
Because we can´t avoid that  immortal Presence to be there anyway knowing of it or not, and that Presence will link to any other Presence, either on Earth or elsewhere because is not a Presence limited to this planet but a Cosmic Presence, and all those discoveries cannot came but at the moment we let It be, because are not discovering of the mind but of the Mind and the Heart together, because we will not only know that truth, but love it.
Love in the sense of Adoration of that truth, you will adore it because of its infinite knowledge and love.
At that moment, the shadow and distance we have projected between <us> and that Being is still there, but we have transformed it in a pattern of  light: we have enlightened it, but not eliminate.
That is why our frequents go and back and turnovers.
The last part of the process leads unavoidably at an Identification of self and Self, a Fusion, a disappearance of both in a wide limitless Non-Being Consciousness
all-inclusive.
That is the Supermental Solid, the Metatronic Solid, the Diamond of Light of the Bodisattvas, and even the Christic dome of Light, because evidently, all the sources cannot point but at a same origin, the Divine Diamond of the Mind of God of which all is expression.
