Dear Ones:
This is the third letter in the “Bertolucci Meaning”
series. Its purpose is to introduce the enclosed paper, “Truth
Is Impersonal.” I and a group of Ananda members have collaborated
in writing this paper.
Master once said: “How you all will change the work after
I am gone! If I came back a hundred years from now, I just wonder
if I would even recognize it.” It was to Daya Mata that
he addressed these words.
Change is inevitable in this world. Something else Master said
to Daya Mata, however, indicates that his basic concern for the
future of his organization regarded not so much changes in its
outer form as in its inner spirit. What he told Daya Mata also
was, “When I am gone, only love can take my place.”
He once told Dr. Lewis: “No matter what you or I do, this
work will follow a certain course, ordained by God.” I cannot
believe that this “ordained course” includes the loss
of its inner spirit, for that is the essence of the teachings.
The sacred truths Yogananda brought must endure. These truths
are, in fact, his work. The “ordained course” he referred
to can only be changes in the outer presentation of them. Any
changes, then, in the spirit of his organization must not be
treated submissively with the thought that they have been divinely
ordained.
The enclosed paper discusses changes in that essential spirit:
specifically, in the spirit of love and of truth.
In Master,
Swami Kriyananda
Editor’s note: The “enclosed paper” referred to
was a pamphlet later re-titled, “Has SRF Lost Its Way?”
The contents of that paper, and more, are included now on the
