Friends, it is going to be almost a year that i am sharing again in Vivekanvesha. After the last blog i was busy with the publication work of my poem book 'Kaapoor' - a compilation of all my English, Hindi & Marathi poems. Then the lectures and travelling also continued...well, excuses cannot make up for the lost period but folks, am back again with Swamiji's wonderful experiences in the west.
At White Mountains, Swamiji was very happy as he was away
from the hectic schedule of lectures and
the soot filled noisy city of New York
to the green and blossoming beautiful countryside.
We all know about the
wonderful experience at Dakshineshwar when Sri Ramakrishna had touched over His
heart and Naren saw the rooms, the verandah, the Sun , the moon all flying off,
shattering into pieces and then merging into Akasha.
When Swamiji came back to India Swamiji once said to His disciple
Shri Sharat Chandra Chakravarty, “A time comes when what you call differentiation
vanishes, and we cannot perceive it at all. I have experienced that state in my
own life.”
The disciple asked, “When have you done so, Swamiji?”
Swamiji replied it was at Dakshineshwar as mentioned above
and on another occasion, he had exactly same realization by the side of a lake
in America. Swamiji further said, “Know - this knowledge of Oneness is what the
Shastras speak of as realisation of the Brahman, by knowing which, one gets rid
of Fear, and the shackles of birth and death break forever.”
Once as we know that at the shore of Lake Michigan also He
had entered into samadhi, but on that occasion Sri Ramakrishna had appeared to
him and drew Him back "to the Work for which he had come to the world.
But most probably Swamiji was telling Sharat Chandra about
His experience at Camp Percy which we must enjoy directly from Josephine
Macleod’s narration - You will have to wait for it to read in the next blog.
