+Whatever the Lord sends, that I accept as His will. I have given my whole self—body, mind, actions and feelings—to the will of the Almighty.”
+“Suppose you are threatened with death by a murderous ruffian, would you do nothing and accept that as God’s will?”
+“When any danger arises I know that I have only to pray and instantly I will receive His protection. Prayer is necessary, but fear is not. I pray frequently and the Lord has marvellously protected me. Yet I have been through great troubles. Through all of them I was conscious of His help and I trust Him fully under every event. One day you, too, will disregard the future and become indifferent to it.”
+“There will have to be a remarkable change in me before that happens,” I observe drily.
+“That change will surely come.”
+“Are you certain?”
+“Yes, you cannot escape your destiny. This spiritual rebirth is an event which comes from God, whether one looks for it or not.”
+WHAT is the supreme object, the final goal of this Yoga of Brahma Chinta?” I ask him.
+“We seek the condition of sacred trance, for in that condition man obtains perfect proof that he is a soul. Then it is that he frees his mind from his surroundings; objects fade away and the outside world seems to disappear. He discovers the soul as a living, real being within himself; its bliss, peace and power overwhelm him. All he needs is a single experience of this kind to obtain the proof that there is a divine and undying life in himself, never again can he forget it.”
+A shred of doubt prompts my enquiry:
+“Are you sure that all this is not a deep form of auto-suggestion?”
+A ghost of a smile curls around his lips.
+“When a mother gives birth to a child, is it possible that she can doubt, even for a single moment, what is happening? And when she comes to look back on that experience, could she ever think that it was only an auto-suggestion? And when she watches her child grow up beside her year after year, can she hesitate at any time and disbelieve in its existence?
