Book Presentation
"Messages to Aspirants"
by Dr. Ekkirala Krishnamacharya
The booklet contains extracts from letters of Master EK (Ekkirala Krishnamacharya) sent to
persons in the West and in India. It is meant to inspire aspirants and disciples. The letters contain many
instructions and advices of the Master, concerning spiritual practice, everyday living or spiritual questions
– a jewel for the seekers. “Spiritual qualifications do not depend upon social perfection and
formality. It is the warmth of the heart that makes us respond to each other from such a
distance.”

Extracts
No 3 Very happy to note that "the changes that are presenting
themselves with the plans foreseen by the Lord". What I see is, the plans are given by the lord, not
foreseen by Him, nor by us. Also they may be understood as the plans that exist with the Lord, since the Lord has no
intentions.
(To J., Belgium. 8-8-1983.)No. 4It
is really interesting and I am very happy to know that you are in direct contact with Elizabeth Warnon.
Now, about the school of Meditation described by the Tibetan in the Occult Meditation, I know that such a school
exists but it exists only on the mental and buddhic planes, not on physical plane.
All the members
and students are working from various parts of the globe and no physical plane institute is of any
value in the matter. You have seen the fate of very big institutions on the physical plane that are rotting with
many differences and that are not able to produce anything at all, useful to the world. We know many universities
and many big institutions spending nights and days in producing nothing but discussions and differences, spending at
the same time much paper, machinery and modern equipment. So the Tibetan Master is always careful enough to see that
no institution is established on the physical plane, “Let there be no Ashram on the physical plane" he
said.
Every individual who shows willingness will be trained through telepathy to put
himself to discipline and to make himself or herself fit to be one among a group. Then we can form our own groups
who work as the various rooms in a school from the distant corners of the globe. In such a sense, the Tibetan has
His School working and I know it as a matter of personal testimony.
Our willingness makes us
recruit in the Institution. What binds us is the piece of work that we take up and the attitude we show
towards other individuals and other organizations, irrespective of their concepts, ideas and opinions. This attitude
lifts us up from the lower mental level to the higher mental and finally to the Buddhic plane where the Masters can
be found.
We can start to do something good and useful to others while at home and we will
be recruited into the 'School of the Masters' automatically. In course of time, you will begin to experience their
presence in dreams, sleep and then in the awakened state. We have no means to claim admission into such a school or
to pay and purchase education from such an institution. When we sell ourselves to it in our mind, we will
immediately come across persons who take us with them and recruit us as their colleagues in the work of the Masters.
This is what I know definitely and about the detail, everyone has to wait to receive instead of making sweet
surprises and pious expectations.
I strongly advise you to begin to teach something useful to your
son with a considerable degree of regularity before you can think of depriving him of the present
school education. Before we negate something, we must have something to positive.
Another important
point is to realize that the family is the first institution where we can get trained by trying to
discharge of the duties as devotedly as possible. Here starts real discipleship, which the masters appreciate and
accept.
I hope to see you after some time. I very much like your zeal and your search for
Truth. I join to send a good thought to the Masters so that you are taken into the fold and be encouraged by
allowing you to do good work.
(To TM., France. 8-8-1983)No. 6May
the Lord bless you .... ! You wrote, 'You had so precise plans for the future". I have no plans, since
I do not believe in planning for anything. Everything comes to me by God's Grace, just as you have come to me. I
never planned to meet .... you all came to receive me, because I am always lucky to have such people with me. My
affection to you is the same as it was during these ten years. It will be the same for ever. It will be the same
with everyone.
You say, "The air is pure there". To me the air is pure wherever there are
people of pure hearts. You will go wherever I go.... There are no conditions. No question of anyone "cleaning others’
windows”. In my presence, everyone should clean his / her own windows, so that you can keep your own house
happy for me to stay.... Please remember, that I have no plan of mine, there is only The Plan given by the Lord....
As far as I am concerned.
