Baba says- “Then he took me to a well, tied up my legs with a rope and suspended me, head downwards, from a tree by a side of the well. My head was about three feet off the water , which I could not reach. And my Guru left me there and went away, God knows where.

He returned after 4 or 5 hours and asked me how I fared. “In great bliss was my time passed”, answered. The Guru, mightily pleased with me, drew me near him, passed his palm over my head and body and spoke to me tender words dripping with love, and he put me into his school where entirely forgot my father and mother and all attachments and desires.

“I loved to gaze at him. If he were not there to see, I would not like to have eyes at all. I did not wish to go back. I forgot all other things but the Guru. My life was concentrated in my sight and my sight in him. That was the object of my meditation.

In silence I bowed. “Meanwhile Realisation flashed upon me of itself without effort or study, purely by his grace”
