Truest words about your body not ready to receive the high currents of samadhi! I was 21 I went into an astral realm with no experience accept studying yogananda books at 14 and digesting them well and mediating at 15 onwards, so I just closed my eyes and found myself looking at my physical body. I realized what was going on, and said god reveal thyself, with an a instant flash I shot threw a 4 story building into space into a wormhole light speed tunnel then stopped into an array of dancing colors, instantly feeling bliss that no human tongue can describe. I felt waves of bliss to the point that I could not contain this high energy I felt,I was exploding as the wave currents of samadhi ran through my astral body, in the astral realm anything materializes by sheer thought, I found that out instantly. I kept saying to god i can’t handle this high current of unending love, and telepathically I was told to fear not, trust where you are. The love was so overwhelming I could not contain it, just as waves break on the beach so to I was being hit by the waves of bliss, each wave of love was greater then the last, there was no end in sight of on going ethereal currents of love to the point I was exploding with each wave. All my questions about life were answered in a manner that before my mind could finish the sentence the answers hit me like a wave, I was having the highest conversation with divine, I could never finish a question with out that answer hitting me before I was done. When I returned to my body after 8 hrs I had no pain, or groggy wake up, I Simply open my eyes, I started laughing and crying simultaneously, I was healed of any ignorance or physical disease, I walked for days loving everyone I saw. I didn’t eat or sleep till the 4th day. The energy after this experience waned on and on. I felt when Jesus said “forgive them for they know not what they do” the world has a veil over it. I truly know with every cell in my body that yoganada speaks the truth in detail about the afterlife.

Now after this event of sleepless saint ,I noticed it . I was a bad guy , totally indulged in bad habits ,LUST (which is very powerful)and MAYA , best decision was to join a Gym Slowly from there I started with my yoga and meditation journey .

This incident is very nicely written by Sri yogananda in his biography. The place is ranbajpur in WB where this sleepless saint lived in a small hut.sri yogananda ji said just a small mistake of not showing respect to a stone in tarakeswar, worshipped as Kali, made him to wonder in a remote area searching for this Saint ramkumar Majumdar. Read it. You will be spiritually uplifted.the enemy of ours is not outside, he is within us and he is called the mind or thoughts.

"Descended from the general to the particular"? What does that mean?

[@shaktijane]

I think if I remember, before the saint asked the question above, Sri Yogananda had just met him and they were talking in general about spiritual things, then the saint suddenly asked this specific question. It is in The Autobiography of a Yogi.

I believe it meant that the sleepless yogi got straight to the point.

[@winteriscoming7493]

I tried reading this book, am actually still trying, but after every 5 lines to half a page, I have to pick dictionary. Secondly, till 5th chapter, I feel more focus is on yogic miraculous powers, very little concept of devotion and milestones/journey of spirituality and ur inner search. May be later stages I get to see all of that. I bought it coz it's a best seller, so wanted to see what message it conveys.

@@kingfisher366 Interestingly enough, this is the very first time I've ever heard anyone state that meditation is 'life negative'. I once wrote to a known sage and told him straight out that there is no such thing as 'good' karma, only 'bad' karma (and by 'bad', meaning having at some point to face and experience all intentional harm you might have caused to 'others'). But as 'bliss' is really everyone's own birthright, it is not something that has to be 'earned' by doing so-called 'good' deeds. And the sage replied: By stating that, you are going against thousands of years of religious instruction and tradition but you could be right! Lol!
