SIGHTS OF NATURE

 

200. Baba's approbation of Mystic Experience

(a) Baba occasionally gazed at the setting sun. He once admired the

beauty and large size of a group of parrots.

(b) K.G. Bhishma and Mr. Balwant Khaparde went out in the morning at

Shirdi, when dew was falling and the Sun was just rising. Bhishma turned

back, i.e., towards the west and found his shadow a very long one

starting from his feet and proceeding endlessly on to the west. At the

western horizon the shadow was crowned with or surrounded by a glorious

circular rainbow. The sight filled him with joy. It was evidently his

reflection becoming endless and glorious. The finite was proceeding into

the infinite. The Jiva was lost in the Paramatma. And for a moment he

was lost in ineffable joy. Balwant also saw the same thing about himself

and had the same experience. When the two returned home, G.S. Khaparde

said that Baba had granted them a glimpse of the Atman. Then they went

to Baba and Baba gave them a smile of approval.
