Adyar, 9 November 2012


This picture was taken about 10 months ago where the River Adyar flows into the Gulf of Bengal.
After the cyclone passed last week, the beach is cleaner, but the damage on the land can still be seen as broken trees at many places. A sea ship of some 25k tonnes, washed ashore in front of the TS, now stands high on the seashore beach at the other side of the river. Regretfully a number of the sailors, who had been ordered by their captain to abandon ship, had drowned during the cyclone.

The School of the Wisdom on the Secret Doctrine is conducted in a most gentle way. Each day the professor and the students start with a meditation session from 8 till 8.30H. The classes are leading them slowly but steadily closer to the Age Old Wisdom of the Secret Doctrine, through which one can experience the same truth, which lies behind all religions. Important educational advice was given, which states, that the participants in this school should form a loving relationship between themselves and also with their teacher. Thus there are no conflicts or personality clashes and together and with an open mind the participants can reach for inspiration and wisdom. This school is not about factual knowledge, which would lead to pride and block the way to wisdom. Love and wisdom thus remain one and the same experience.
This is most revealing.

Staying here is like participating in a great and wonderful symphony, in which the members of all the kingdoms of nature tend to do their best to be in harmony.

Good bye for now,
