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.
