BABA
Distortion: AV1-15 Electricity
Namaskar,
Our Tiljala Publishers (TP) have printed/added a wrong thing, which Baba did not say. In the below discourse AV1-15, our TP wrote that “Electricity and the sun are things to feel only.” This is completely erroneous.
See the blunder of TP
Please see below in the scan of this very discourse AV1-15, exactly how it has been published by our Tiljala Publishers. The red underlined sentence reads, “Electricity and the sun are things to feel only.” Our TP has published/added the wrong thing, which Baba did not say. See below:

Namaskár,
In Him,

Correct: “We see the operation and action of electrical energy through lights, fans, etc.” (2)
We Should Fix Bábá's Discourses - Now or Never
If we remain passive onlookers and do not fix the negative trends of introducing distortion into Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrtiji's discourses—if we do not bring the printed discourses up to the proper standard now—it will become impossible to change this in the future. And even if in the future some sincere Ánanda Márgiis will try, they will be treated as enemies. Because this is the way religion works: Today one cannot teach the devotees of Lord Krśńa that He has nothing to do with cows; they will never believe it. Although Ánanda Má́rga is dharma—not religion, but
in the same way as happened with Hindus vis-a-vis Lord Krśńa and the cows, Ánanda Márgiis will become used to the wrong teachings in our AMPS books and they will not like to give them up. They will think that whatever was there at the end of the twentieth century, that was the gold standard for all time. And it should be kept and maintained.
Ánanda Má́rga is dharma—not religion—but we will face the same opposition from within to change, when wrong teachings get established.
So we don't have any time: it is either now or never. The clock is ticking: If we do not get Bábá's discourses fixed now, it will be impossible to do so later. And that will cause bloodshed and more division on the basis of the various versions of Bábá's teachings and their explanations. History bears testimony to this, that all the religions have similarly broken into multiple factions, groups and subgroups on the basis of differences in scripture interpretations. Bábá wanted to eliminate such problems, and that is why Bábá's discourses are recorded. But unfortunately, those recordings are not being published properly. This matter is very serious.
