Guest guest Posted February 1, 2003 Report Share Posted February 1, 2003 5th February, 1936 155. The same man again asked about the nature of samadhi and the means to get samadhi. M.: When the one who asks the nature of samadhi and the method of getting into it vanishes, samadhi will result. Maj. Chadwick: It is said that one look of a Mahatma is enough; that idols, pilgrimages, etc, are not so effective. I have been here for three months, but I do not know how I have been benefited by the look of Maharshi. M.: The look has a purifying effect. Purification cannot be visualized. Just as a piece of coal takes long to be ignited, a piece of charcoal takes a short time, and a mass of gunpowder is instantaneously ignited, so it is with grades of men coming in contact with Mahatmas. Mr. Cohen: I get into meditation and reach a point which may be called peace and a contemplative mood. What should be the next step? M.: Peace is Self-Realisation. Peace need not be disturbed. One should aim at Peace only. D.: But I do not have the satisfaction. M.: Because your peace is temporary. If made permanent it is called Realisation.
