"Nityananda was always totally immersed in the Divine, in Omkar, in

the power and the sound of OM. Achutamama, a devotee from Sojuth

Kanara years, recalls the following incident. Near the coastal

village of Kaup there was a lighthouse; it was under the charge of an

English caretaker who admired Nityananda and made him welcome

whenever he wished to come. One night, Nityananda took Achutamama to

the top of the lighthouse. Pointing out a large ship lying at anchor

in the distance, Nityananda asked his companion to estimate the depth

of the sea at the ship. To the answer, "It must be quite deep for a

ship like that", the youthful Nityananda replied, "Oh, no! It is only

ankle deep. Come, I will show you".

 

"It was dark night. As soon as they got into the sea, Nityananda

took his devotee's arm with his right hand and stretched his left

hand out in front of them. They walked in ankle-deep water all the

way to the side of the ship. The bewildered Achutamama did not

understand and could not answer when Nityananda told him, "See, it is

only ankle-deep as you were told". They turned around and walked

back as they had come, Nityananda again holding his companion with

one hand while he held the other arm stretched out. Halfway to

shore, Nityananda lowered his outstretched hand; both men immediately

sank into the deep sea. Achutamama was terrified, but in seconds

Nityananda reached him and pulled him up. Again they started walking

through ankle-deep water, with Nityananda's left hand outstretched as

before. Upon retunring to the room where they were to spend the

night, the exhaust4ed Achutamama immediately was sitting up looking

at him. Seeing that his companion was awake, Nityananda began to

speak. He said that what had happened was a manifestation of the

Omkar Shakti and that everything in the universe was a manifestation

of this Omkar. As soon as he had heard these two sentences,

Achutamama fell back into his deep sleep."
