OF MIRACLE-BABAS

OF MIRACLE-BABAS

So-called first-hand knowledge of so-called Babas from their 'spiritual' realisation which prompts them to speak about unknown 'historical' episodes such as 'the lost years of Jesus Christ' without citing credible evidence to back up such assertions only results in the spreading of misinformation. Serious thinkers will sneer at such concoctions made on the original concoction of sorts.

Religion plays upon the weaknesses of credulous humanity thus to prop up such Babas who have a nice time on earth living in palaces at the expense of the gullible devotees and the incurable enthusiasts who help promote fraudulence of such sort. These latter ones are equally culpable to the offence of siding with spiritual corruption of this despicable order.

Spirituality has nothing to hide. It is open to scientific investigation and will come out triumphant if the proper methodology for its study is applied by investigators of intellectual merit. But these miracle-mongers never subject their performance of miracles to scrutiny under scientific conditions. Thus they prosper and men, ignorant and erudite both, out of peculiar character considerations, help them to so prosper and create the myths that perpetuate in human memory to its terrible detriment. Sri Ramakrishna had a very low opinion of such Babas.
