Re: "Aurobindo on Theosophy"

I'm not shure if Aurobindo would agree with you. He wrote following:

Their romanticism, their unbridled imagination, their galloping 
impatience, their haste, bragging and loudness, their susceptibility
to dupery, trickery, obstinate error and greedy self-deception, 
Theosophists have strengthened doubt and discredit and
driven many an earnest seeker to bewilderment, to angry suspicion or
to final renunciation of the search for truth.

They have scattered the path of the conscientious investigators, the 
severe scientists of Yoga who must appear in the future, with the
thorns and sharp flints of a well-justified incredulity and suspicion.
