Kashyapa Sutra Classes

[Guest guest]

Namaste to all you lovely children of our Divine Mother ! Here is an

outline of a vision Sri Ramakrishna had, that always reminds me of the Seven

Sages of the Kashyapa Sutras. It is thought that it perhaps was one of the

early accounts that he had knowledge of Narendra's ( Sw. Vivekananda)

advent. This is His own account of the vision : " One day in Samadhi I saw

that my mind , going up by a luminous path, went gross world studded with

the sun , moon, and stars; - it entered first into the subtle world of

ideas. The it ascended to higher and higher strata of that realm, the more

did I see beautiful forms of Gods and Godesses existing on both sides of the

path. It came gradually to the end of that region. I saw that a fence made

of light separated the realm of the divisible from that of the indivisible.

Leaping over that fence, the mind entered by degrees the realm of the

indivisible. No person or thing having a form existed there. As if afraid to

enter there, even the Devas and Devis possessing heavenly bodies exercised

their authority over realms far below

 

But the very next moment I saw SEVEN RISHIS having bodies consisting of

divine light only, seated there in Samadhi. I felt that in virtue and

knowledge, love and renunciation, they had excelled the Gods and Godesses,

not to speak of human beings. Astonished I was pondering over their

greatness, when I saw before me that a part of the homogeneous mass of

Light in this abode of the Indivisible, devoid of the slightest tinge of

difference, became solidified and converted into the form of a Divine Child.

Coming to one of those Sages, and throwing its soft delicate arms around His

neck, It embraced Him, and then calling Him with a voice sweeter than the

music of the vina, made great efforts to wake Him from Samadhi. The Sage did

wake up and with half-shut eyes beheld the Child. I, seeing His bright

expression full of delight, thought that the Child must be the treasure of

His heart - - that their familiarity was of eternity. The extraordinary

Divine Child then expressed great joy and said to the Sage, " I am going and

you must come with me". The Sage did not reply, but His loving eyes

expressed His assent. Looking on the child with eyes of love for some time,

He entered again into Samadhi. I was astonished to see that a part of the

mind and body of that Rishi, converted into the form of a bright light, came

down to earth along the luminous path. Hardly had I seen Narendra, when I

knew that he was that Rishi. "

 

Lots of love to All ----- Jai Maa !!! !!! Jai Swamiji !!!!!
