Basic Writings of Sri Ramchandra
This results in all joy and he begins to abide in it. After sufficient practice it becomes his second nature and its consciousness too drops off. The glamour too passes away. When this is attained, there remains nothing but the swimming in the sphere of Reality, and further on the idea of swimming too becomes extinct. The power generated by the habit of forbearance helps him a good deal in his pursuit, and he enters the sphere described above. What happens next has already been dealt with sufficiently.
In our system this stage is often attained by an Abhyasi. It offers him pleasure and he begins to appreciate it. It helps his entry into the above mentioned circle where he begins to have an experience of the calmness of mind. Then he begins to realise that all these things which had the outer form of misery or scolding had come down only for his good. They are really invaluable to us when they come as gifts. Being overjoyed to have them, one is naturally inclined to express his feeling of gratitude for them.
