Maharshi - one look of a Mahatma

[Guest guest]

Major A.W. Chadwick : It is said that one look of a

Mahatma is enough; that idols, pilgrimates, etc. are

not so effective. I have been here for three months,

but I do not know how I have 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.
