Talk 275.
In the course of conversation, someone referred to the fact that when Mr.
Brunton and a lady were walking home in the night, they saw a bright
glow on half the hill moving slowly and gently from North to South.
Sri Bhagavan said: This hill is said to be wisdom in visible shape.
D.: How is it visible to the physical eye?
M.: Sambandar had sung “The One who fascinated my heart or the
captivator of my heart, I sing of Him in my mind”. The Heart
is captivated: consequently the mind must have sunk into the
Heart; and yet there is the remembrance which enables the saint
to sing of God later. Then the experience of a young disciple was mentioned. The
young man, educated and in good circumstances, in good health
and sober mind, was once facing Sri Bhagavan’s picture in his
home and meditating on the figure. The figure suddenly appeared
animated with life, which threw the young man into a spasm of
fear. He called out for his mother. His mother came and asked
him what the matter was. He was surrounded by his relatives who
were perplexed by his appearance. He was aware of their presence,
but was still overpowered by a mysterious force which he tried to
resist. He became unconscious for a short time. Fear seized him as
he regained consciousness. The people became anxious and tried
to bring him round with medicines.
When later he came to Tiruvannamalai he had some foreboding of
similar experience. The proximity of Sri Bhagavan prevented any
untoward happening. But whenever he wandered away from the hall
he found the force almost irresistible and himself in the grip of fear.
Sri Bhagavan said: “Is it so? No one told me this before.”.........
