Spiritual

For true spirituality, a Sadhak has yet to wait and watch. As he continues his Sadhna, he occasionally transcends his physical body and meets the Master in his self-refulgent form. Thence onward countless vistas of spiritual scenes unfold themselves before his inner vision. These are beyond description. While yet a denizen of this world, he gets an access to higher regions, from whence come nothing but blessedness. Here he gets dyed through and through in the true colour of pure spirituality. Now he is no more “worldly-wise” as he used to be, but is charged with spirituality. He is altogether transformed into a person established in his Divinity or God-head. This may be termed mystical prayer.

In this type of prayer an aspirant has nothing to do. It is all wrought by the Master. Once He takes charge of the soul, it becomes His responsibility to work out this transformation by gradually eliminating all traces of dross and converting the soul into pure gold. Even a most elementary experience of this stage sets at rest all doubts and misgivings. It is enough to awaken a soul into Cosmic Awareness, and from then onward it is established in its own and is no longer a prey to scepticism.

In its naked pristine glory it cries out – I am the soul or I am as Thou art or I am Brahm.
