The value of independent third party (external) evidence

Post02 Sep 2008

Just to demonstrate the use and value of independent third party evidence. In a recent post, arjun copied the following quote from Virendra Dev Dixit.
VCD* No. 779 Audio Cass.No.- 1265, dt.-10-10-07 at Bahalwa (Haryana) Clarification of Murli dated 30-1-68 - Part-III

What was there in the beginning? Was there the foundation of Bhakti in the beginning of the Confluence Age or was there The Knowledge? There was the foundation of Bhakti. They used to come to the satsang [the spiritual gathering] and enter trance. They used to experience visions. Many experienced visions. Many gathered at Sindh-Hyderabad. So was there knowledge? They used to keep uttering the sound- om, om, om. In that case, was there the effort of going beyond sound/speech or was there the effort of coming into speech/sound like the devotees. There was the effort of coming into speech. Bhakti became the foundation. The devotees experience visions in Bhakti itself. So as there was no knowledge in the beginning, Ram failed.

From an older post quoting the biography of Justice Hardayal Hardy - a leader of the Delhi Bar then Chief Justice of the High Court of India who acted on behalf of Lekhraj Kirpalani in some of the many legal cases where the charge was of kidnapping and abduction.
Hardayal Hardy wrote:His knowledge of the religion was not very deep - even his grasp of the Bhagvad Gita was not something that would impress many educated and intelligent men but he knew the basic teachings and could explain them to the uneducated Bania women.

Hardayal Hardy was supporter and ally of Lekhraj Kirpalani and yet his witness, one we can accept as fairly reliable given his status, supports Virendra Dev Dixit's interpretation.

Interesting? Certainly interesting enough to go and seek out more.
