Absorption in Bliss
In the state of Yoga or meditation, one
experiences the rays of light and might or peace and bliss,
descending on him and spreading through him into the whole
world, thus charging the atmosphere with vibrations of
purity, love and spiritual quietude. Sometimes one feels
surrounded by divine light and experiences extraordinary
peace such as one had never experienced before taking
to the practice of Yoga. Sometimes he perceives himself
in golden-red light with strong currents of spiritual
might, emanating from him in all directions as strong
rays of spiritual light. He will be having deep realisation
of being separate from the body, which too he now sees
being charged with these transcendental rays. Again, he
experiences very strong waves of deep-red light and might
beaming out from him in all directions and he perceives
these ennobling and peace-giving vibrations going in all
directions, with good wishes to all. He also, at times,
feels as if he is a brilliant point of light, with rays
of very high intensity, bursting or darting out from him
for the service of the whole world; on such occasions,
he has even no feeling of his body and has no conscious
thought except that he feels that he is absorbed in peace
and bliss and in God's fond Love, there being in him,
sub-consciously though, the feeling of fulfillment of
life and of attainment of the ultimate. He feels in him
a high tide to exhilaration and satisfaction and he now
regards himself a very fortunate person having achieved
his goal.
A person practising meditation has these and many other
such benign experiences. He either gets visions, revealing
great mysteries or becomes a visionary, having thoughts
of high attitude. Even after the meditation sittings,
a person feels changed - a holy and happy man. He is now
imbued with the feeling of friendliness, affection and
sympathy for his fellow-beings. While walking, he no longer
feels the weight of his body. He feels as if he carries
his body light as feather or as if he were lifted from
the ground. He now feels enormous store of will power
and exuberance of zest and indefatigable spirit. He now
remains totally unaffected by situations involving sharp
contrasts - joy and sorrow, gain and loss, praise and
dispraise. He feels as if his weaknesses are now disappearing,
his ignoble tendencies are now making room for the dawn
of purity and divine qualities. He feels like continuing
in this unique state forever. The whole world now appears
to him as to be a wonderful Drama.
