A few days ago I had a talk with Pramodhbhai. During the talk, I made a statement, the way Great souls perceive this universe is different from our visions. I had a talk with Gurudev and he had told me that the light of the supreme never leaves the liberated souls, they constantly perceive the same light within and without. As I was stating this, I had a question in my mind about the accuracy of the statment. That night, I had confirmation. As I slept, throughout that night, with eyes closed, all I could see was the light of the divine. When I finally opened my eyes, I saw the same light lining the whole room, the bed, the linen etc. This gave me the confirmation about the accuracy of the statement. Alas, for me the light did not last permanently!
The second discussion I had with Pramodbhai was how perfection in any of the Shad Sampatti (6 wealths as described by Vasishta Maharaj in Yoga Vasishtha Mayaramayana) can lead to perfection. I related a story which is related in Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramhansa Yogananda. There was a Fakir, who walked around naked always immersed in the divine. He was totally oblivious to the fact that he was roaming into the tents of Muslim women. The men were obviously very upset about it and they used their swords and severed his upper extremities. All that the saint did was pick up his limbs and reattach them and move on!
The moral of the story? One should not be delighted by the miracle of the story how he was instantly healed but by the fact that a corollary of perfection of the Sampatti (wealth) of being content and remain constantly immersed in the divine all things are possible instantly. One should keep working on clearing one owns fault to this degree!
One more small fact. The saint was so immersed in God, that even his genetalia failed to develop – it remained infantile!
