consciousness, then you are encompassing the whole universe but when does it happen? Only when you get rid of your feeling of the body, that you are restricted to your body. So long as the illusion of the body that it is the self is there, you will not be growing. Sadhana enables you to feel the growth in you and you start seeing the entire world as yours. You become first a Mahatma, go on to the higher level, then you also go to a level of Viswatma and after this you get into a Paramatma condition. These are all the various stages which you feel, you start vibrating to the things which are outside. As on date the modern man is condemned to thinking about himself, he is bothered about himself, he has isolated himself so much that he does not feel for somebody else. The natural warmth and love that we should have for anybody suffering is missing today. Some person who is dead, some person who was very old and weak was able to make the Siddhartha become a Buddha, he vibrated to the problems of somebody else. He started feeling for somebody else’s suffering. Today we have got ourselves condemned to the condition of bothering about ourselves, we do not think anything other than this. That is mainly because your consciousness is restricted to your body. This consciousness which is restricted to your body is really a consciousness that is pervading the entire universe. We are one with the universe, that is our destiny. The destiny is to become a Purushottama but today we are condemned Jivas. This is the position but what do you note in the diaries? You start feeling that I seem to be something which is beyond, I seem to be expanding, I do not feel the presence of myself-the body, I don’t feel the body consciousness, it has become so light, I seem to have crossed the borders and boundaries of my existence, this is one of the experiences you get. Any person, who is doing sadhana properly, will get these experiences. If you don’t note this, you will be missing enormous points. When you become light, when you become something, you feel like growing to the level of Brahman, however limited it is, you may not be total Brahman but you have moved on. The individual existence is capable of merging itself into higher consciousness. This has to be noted. If you have not made a habit of writing diary from the very beginning, you will not be in a position to note it when it comes. This is my point to you because diary helps you to become sensitive. When you start noting down, this is what I have done, this I ought not to have done, this I think I should do more, if this is the way in which you write about your sadhana, it becomes easy for you later to recognize the influx of the Divine which actually pulls you out of your consciousness.
