AM I THE ELEVENTH KALKI AVATAR?

Is it possible to destroy a legend and stop the wicked effects of defamation? –

I owe it to the whole world that should answer this important question, since I have often being presented as the Tenth Kalki Avatar, a Budha, or a Messiah.

If people call me names, flout me, vilify me, attack me, or say that I am a crook, a ‘black magician’; a communist, a spy, a villain, I am really at a less in answering them. Some have even said I am false Koot Hoomi Lal Singh, a charlatan, an impostor. I have been accused of almost everything evil under the sun. Those who treat me thus are, of course, freak mystics, strange characters, and questionable speakers of Brotherhood, Divine Love and supreme Spirituality. Should I try to contradict these queer exponents of spiritual ideals and metaphysical doctrines? Could I ever succeed in steering them away from their one-track mind and foul behavior?

Is it not natural, in fact, that lopsided minds and freakish characters viciously slander those who expose their faults and disprove their assertions, or reveal their vices? Is it possible, indeed, to clean up Augean Stables without being spattered with mud, or without suffering vicious attacks from viruses and parasites? Slander is the great weapon of wicked souls. We all know them, because they always speak loudly of Divine Wisdom, Human Brotherhood, Spiritual values, - yet do not practice what they vaunt and claim to cherish.

However, when some sincere souls proclaim that I am a Sage, a Saint, an Avatar, it is my duty to set them right, saving the truth.

In reality, it is not my obligation to say what I am. Does the sun speak out his virtues? Do trees vaunt their fruits? Have flowers over said anything about themselves? Indeed, actions and qualities speak louder than words, and prove more than all the doctrines pundits can produce.

Why should I go around putting tags on myself, and claiming that I am this or that? When wicked souls and vicious hearts attack me, I smile and let devilish thunders pass. When homages are paid to my person, I cannot but say that wonderful words leave me indifferent and neither add nor rest anything to my personality.

Call me Sir; that is enough. If you say that I am a sage, a Saint, an Avatar, I have to speak of my short comings, of my failures, and of my ignorance. No, please, do not try to make a marvel out of me; I am only an earnest student of Life, a respecter of Divine will, a lover of Universal Truth.

I cannot accept any form of admiration, veneration and aggrandizement. Let me be what I am, and let your hearts talk, not your mouths.

I do not want to be a deity of any sort. Admire and follow my example if you wish, but please do not place tags on my person. Let me be as I am, and if my worthiness is great, praise God, or Truth only.

Someone has just said that I am “God´s gift to the world”. Why? If there is any gift at all, it is God Himself, so why refer to me?

Another thing, if I were really an Avatar, would not the Avatar speak for himself, in his own way? Realize, please, that I have never said anything in this respect, and that I have no interest in being hailed as a Prophet, a Saint, an Avatar, or anything of the sort.

If you love, admire, and feel like praising me, follow my example; but do not brand me with high sounding titles or designations.

Some people make a “Great Master” out of me, yet I am concerned only in helping humanity. If they make a sphinx, a Capricorn, a messiah, a marvel out of me, they are being too personal and anthropomorphical. This is exactly the opposite or my Teachings.

Those who say I am an impostor, a devil, a false divinity, or the worse objects of their hatred and ruthlessness are losing their time. They should begin by proving their assertions. By, the same token, if they claim that I am a monkey, a virus, a communist, a criminal, or a monster, they should also prove it. All these accusations are silly, but they remain a challenge those who resort to them.

Such is my answer. Those who befoul me are now indicted by UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS. Those who admire and love me are warned.

What have I done to deserve such delusive titles and designations? I loathe being treated thus, and would like to be able to go to live in forest caves, where dwellers are not so fanciful, freakish and unwise.
