Dear Members,

Signs of God-vision

 

" The sign of a man's having realized God is that he

has become like a dry coconut. He has become utterly

free from the consciousness that he is the body. He

does not feel happy or unhappy with the happiness or

unhappiness of the body. He does not seek the comforts

of the body. He roams about in the world as a

jivanmukta, one liberated in life. 'The devotee of

Kali is a jivanmukta , full of Eternal Bliss.'

 

" When you find that the very mention of God's name

brings tears to your eyes and makes your hair stand on

end, then you will know that you have freed yourself

from attachment to 'woman and gold' and attained God.

If the matches are dry, you get a spark by striking

only one of them. But if they are damp, you don't get

a spark even if you strike fifty. You only waste

matches. Similarly, if your mind is soaked in the

pleasure of worldly things, in 'woman and gold', then

God-Consciousness will not be kindled in you. You may

try a thousand times, but all your efforts will be

futile. But no sooner does attachment to worldly

pleasure dry up than the spark of God flashes forth. "
