The walking Lord of Varanasi – Sri Thrailanga Swamiji

Pranams at the lotus feet of Swamiji!

Chapter - IX

The next morning while going for a bath in Ganga, Swamiji said ‘ Umacharan, meet me today night. I will clear all your doubts.  After that, you will not find the need to meet me in my hermitage.”  That night Umacharanji met Swamiji in the hermitage, he fed Umacharan with the offerings of Lord, he instructed Umacharan with few spiritual practices and concluded that with these practices he can attain self-realization and the realization of Bramham as well. Swamiji asked him to do the practices on regular basis, Swamiji took a seat and said ‘ Umacharan, today onwards you are bound by Upasana. Hence you have to strictly follow the practices on regular basis.  If you made any fault in this, I will be responsible to bear the fruit, if you did not get time in the day, do it in the night, if you did not find time in the night, do it in the midnight, but the performance of duty is essential, nothing will work otherwise if you make any fault in the practice, I will get the intimation,”  Thrailangaswamiji went into silence for some time, like he was immersed in the past,  Swamiji continued ‘ God has created human and instilled all the truth and virtues, therefore he can perform all the task of Supreme spirit, today I will make it clear for you. Then you will understand soul and supreme soul are ‘One’, there is no difference between them.  He resides as soul and intellect in the human brain, there is no ‘I’ concept, all that is ‘supreme spirit’.  There is no ‘I’ and there is no ‘mine’ as well. It should be remembered always.” Swamiji went into deep silence.  After some time Swamiji said ‘close your eyes, when I call you, then open your eyes.’ Swamiji also went into trance, it was not clear how long that state continued, Swamiji said ‘ Umacharan, open your eyes and tell me where are we.’ Umacharan realized that they are not in the chamber, Swamiji and he was in the shore of Ganga, Swamiji was seated on a cot which was covered in white and crisp cushions and clothes’ Swamiji asked to touch the waters of Ganga, Umacharan realized it was water, he moves away from water and sat near Swamiji, he said ‘ Close your eyes once again, now open your eyes and tell me where are we.’ Umacharan found he is seated with Swamiji in the same old chamber in the hermitage; Umacharan startled ‘how did it all that happen?’ Swamiji said ‘ It is nothing to get surprised when human understand the nature of self, he can do all that he wants, I have shown it to you to increase your belief, firm devotion and faith.
