RYD,
I was not present, all of them have left the body, so I can only guess, and confirm what I already wrote. Personally, I would be delighted if Sri Aurobindo, the Mother and Jung had knowledge of each other and interacted, but whether this happened or not and for what reason is none of my business. I prefer silence on the matter rather than wrong or contradictory interpretations, as I have already come across regarding major paths and gurus, moreover when ignorant disciples meddle with it.
For example, regarding Sri Aurobindo and Ramana Maharshi. I met that disciple, very gross, at his advanced age still strong like a bull; he went back and forth until the Mother told him to remain in Tiruvannamalai. He never understood anything of Integral Yoga or Advaita Vedanta but kept passing around his wrong perceptions. The result was disastrous, both ways.
This was certainly not the case with Jayantilal. But I won’t object if Jung did not went through those books, or not deeply enough, as I would not object if Sri Aurobindo, or the Mother, or any guru did the same. I have read enough wrong or contradictory statements on other major personalities, and it was disconcerting; everything fell into order only when I found the following by Sri Aurobindo:
Volume: 22-23-24 [SABCL] (Letters on Yoga), Page: 410
An Avatar or Vibhuti have the knowledge that is necessary for their work, they need not have more. There was absolutely no reason why Buddha should know what was going on in Rome. An Avatar even does not manifest all the Divine omniscience and omnipotence; he has not come for any such unnecessary display; all that is behind him but not in the front of his consciousness. As for the Vibhuti, the Vibhuti need not even know that he is a power of the Divine. Some Vibhutis like Julius Caesar for instance have been atheists. Buddha himself did not believe in a personal God, only in some impersonal and indescribable Permanent.
When Sri Aurobindo himself did not bother, and even got interested in the text by Jung that Kishor Gandhi submitted to him, why should we bother? Let’s avatars and vibhuti go their own way.I know what’s useful for me in Jung, within Integral Yoga – but also where the two paths depart. That’s all I need.
YES, YOGA IS PRACTICAL PSYCHOLOGY, AND NO TWO PATHS ARE ALIKE.
