Going to have to get "Foundations!" I believe all of what Sri Yukteswar wrote came from Babaji -- if I'm not mistaken, as Babaji was his Guru as well as Sri Lahiri Mayasaya's Guru. Sri Mayasaya originally encountered Babaji in Tibet, did he not? And I know that Sri Yukteswar spent some time in the Himalayas with Paramahansaji. These men seem to be playing a role with my K awakening, but I'm really not sure how?
Here's my question: We tend to credit people for various insights and accomplishments, such as Sri's Yukteswar and Yogananda. But really, WHO were they? Were they really the "bodies" we hold in esteem with faces and expressions in pictures (please don't laugh!) OR are they unique representations of God, OR wouldn't we as human beings be able to recognize thoughts and ideas without the apparent encasement of the bones and skin? What if they're in different bodies today or if, as in the case of Babaji, still alive?
I mean, I'm not really "me"-- do you see what I mean? Without my ego-sense, my blond hair, my dogs, my history -- I'm really not me. I'm pure Light. And most likely I was/am many, many other human beings and probably other types of beings. So basically, all the people we hold in high esteem aren't really who we think they are, we just THINK they are. This is a tough question to put into words, but you probably get the idea!
Love,
Hety After reading a few chapters, I decided to skip ahead and look at
some the diagrams, and was struck by the similarities to the
diagrams in "Holy Science" -- more sychronicity. I began to wonder
if Sri Yukteswar got some of his ideas from Tibetan Buddhism, but
they were more likey from Hindu Vedic texts. It seems spiritual
truth transcends religeous creeds.
