JIBANKRISHNA OR DIAMOND THE HOLY GHOST AND MY DIARY OF DIVINE DREAMS

Chapter 5

Shower of  blessings  of  God—First  experience

on  merging  of  dream  and  reality – Realization of Vedanta 

11) May 22, 1972. 

Early morning I saw in a dream that there was a heavy shower which continued for a long time. I woke up for a moment and though that it was really raining outside and so I decided to sleep again. After a while, when I woke up again saw with surprise that there was no sign of rain outside. The dream was so vivid.

[(a) Here the shower signifies the blessings of God which was showered upon the seer .  (b) The seer experienced the merging of dream and reality. This has a reference in Upanishads that both dream and reality are identical.]     

Realization  as  per  the  book  ‘Dharma-O-Anubhuti

12) 4^th June, 1972, Sunday.

What was felt during my dream was realized after I woke up. I felt that for the whole night God-the-Preceptor held my hand and both roamed here and there.

[This realization was mentioned by Sri Ramkrishna as, ‘God-the-Preceptor is as if a companion, holding the hand of the devotee and roam’. This is also mentioned in the Bengali book’ Dharma-O-Anubhuti’ written by Diamond like this—God appears to the devotee as God-the-Preceptor and roam with him holding hand (vide dream no 5) ]

Realization  as  per  the  book  ‘Dharma-O-Anubhuti’--

Dream  and  Reality  are  identical – Realization of Vedanta

13)   12^th  June, 1972, Monday, Early morning dream: I was dwelling on the top floor of a huge building .I was stepping down from the top floor observing innumerable number of rooms, steps and lanes inside the House which was beyond imagination. After stepping down for a while I felt that I lost my track to get up. Suddenly I noticed that an unknown person standing beside me, pointed out my way to the upstairs. I looked up and found that the steps lead to my dwelling place in the top floor. I then returned to my own room. Here the dream went off.

After a while, I again had a dream and noticed a beautiful hilly town. People were seen walking on roads. Suddenly a herd of cows was seen on the road. I stood on one side of the road and surprisingly went on thinking that I was dreaming but everything seemed so real! Then my dream went off.

[The revelation of the 1^st scene appeared thus : Large building signifies the huge capacity of the seer’s cerebrum. Rooms are the brain cells, lanes signify channels from the root of spinal chord to the cerebrum.

Loosing tracks means that during upward movement of the life force towards the 7^th plane of the cerebrum sometimes gets out of the channel being diverted from the main channel ‘Susumna’ nerve which is the main path towards Godhood within the body . At this moment God as unknown person keeps the seer in the right track which the seer experienced in this dream.

The 2^nd scene signifies that the seer had a realization of Vedanta where dream and reality are described as identical. At the same time the seer experienced the same realization as mentioned in the book ‘Dharma-O-Anubhuti’ No 881 : “ There is no difference between dream and reality. The devotee who has got pure consciousness realizes this”. (vide dream no 5 ]

RELIGION AND REALIZATION BY DIAMOND PICKED UP IN THE STREET

MARCH --1882     

Place : -  Temple  of  Dakshineswar

(Henceforth Shri Ramkrishna will be spoken of as Thakur” when required as it is so done in the Gospel )

Visit to Vidyasagar
Saturday, August 5, 1882.

532. “The macrocosm in the form of microcosm in the womb of the Mother”.

Mother – is this very body. Yes, ‘I’ or ego is the son to body. Body bears this ‘I’, as a mother carries her child. The exact relation of the body and ‘I’ is that of mother and baby.

Womb – is cerebrum or the seventh plane where in the Jara Samadhi this vast Universe appears as a seed – i.e. microcosm; and macrocosm is Ra of Thakur; when the Universe is seen within this Atman. It is Viswarupa.

533. “I, by being a dwarf, shall hold the moon”.

Moon – is the symbol of devotion. In the Chetan Samadhi an aspirant sees the moon in the cerebrum.

‘I’ or egoism has become a dwarf, that is, ‘I’-ness has lessened. More the ego diminishes, more the realizations come.

534. “(Line of a song) – “Withhold me from deliverance”.

Almost all the people of India (Hindus of course) are being pursued to believe in getting liberation after death. It is an eyewash and smells sophistry. Liberation must be attained in this life or it has no value. According to the ‘Sachhanda Darshan’ (the philosophy of the spontaneous revelation), no sooner God in the body assumes a form it is visualized by the man; it is Immediate Liberation – Sadya mukti.

535. “Yet, on with your march. A wood-cutter had been to a forest to have wood. He met a Brahmachari. The latter told him, ‘Go forward’! The injunction was obeyed. Everything further on in the forest, he discovered a group of sandal-wood tress. After a few days, a reflection came upon him; he said to himself, ‘Well, the holy man asked me to march forward’. He advanced and found a silver-mine. Further on, and he found a gold-mine. Going on and on, and he found mines of precious stones and diamonds”.

March – it is to be taken up in the process of yoga in the body. Kundalini or Life Power marches on to the seventh plane.

Wood-cutter – An aspirant (Sadhak).

Forest – human body – Deharanya.

To have wood – more realizations by penetrating the body.

Brahmachari – God-the-Preceptor. The woodcutter found his God-the-Preceptor within his own body.

Sandal-wood tree – Subtle body.

Silver-mine – Causal body.

Gold-mine – the cerebrum or the seventh plane. It is called Hiranmaya Kosha (the golden plane) in the Upanishad.

Precious Stones – other innumerable realizations such as – Viswarupa, a Seed, Chaitanya, Tattvajnan, etc.

Diamond – Godhead.

536. “In the coffers of Varuna, there are countless gems. But the king Varuna is not aware of them”.

Coffers – human body. Varuna in the Indian mythology is described as king of water. Water is seen in the Pranamaya Kosha. There the water represents the collected Life Power. Again, it is seen in the seventh plane and here it represents Brahma. Strange that these things are seen. It is so charming and wonderful! Ultimately it transpires that Varuna is nobody else but every man.

Varuna – In later period of the Vedic literature, Varuna became identical with Brahma. It was so announced by the Rishis that man was Brahma. So Varuna, Brahma and man become identical.

The plain meaning is that a man is not aware of the latent capacity of his Life Power, or in short, a man does not know that he is Brahma. He is one with the whole human race in the spiritual world and its proof is discussed in the preface of this book and it bespeaks of “Unity in Diversity”.

Chapter 4

Forecast  of  God-the-Preceptor  about  me in dream 

5)  March 3, 1972.  I dreamt that I had gone to one of my friend’s house at Howrah Town (near Kolkata) to collect the 2^nd and 3^rd part of a book ‘Dharma-O-Anubhuti’ (written by Diamond based on his personal realizations). But they said that they had not a single book. So I came out and aimlessly roamed here and there and unmindfully reached the residence of Diamond where; I found Diamond sitting on his cot in his room. Seeing me he only uttered without asking anything: Hey! You will write the 2^nd and 3^rd part of ‘Dharma-O-Anubhuti’. Then and there the dream went off.

[I gave no importance on it, But within 2-3 days some urge appeared in my mind to find this book. Strangely, I had no idea that book was already written by Diamond. I thought, I might have to write this book. As days passed on, some force began to arise within me for Diamond and gradually my mind began to change from the worldly affairs towards the world of Diamond where I felt that the true religion means the spontaneous evolution of life power within a human body to be transformed into God.

Thus a new divine life began in me together with my material world and was bloomed with innumerable strange and unique dreams enriching my mind and thoughts .

After several years when I had undergone & various realizations, I realized what was its real meaning. I realized that my God-the-Preceptor wanted to say that in future I would have various realizations mentioned in the 2^nd and 3^rd part of ‘Dharma-O-Anubhuti’. Because’ to write; means fixation of the affects of realizations within the body

Note: In real life, this actually happened when I had experienced many realizations as mentioned in the 2^nd and 3^rd part of the book as will be revealed in many of my dreams later on.]

Vision  of  the  future  ascent  and  descent  austerity

6)  May2, 1972:  I dreamed early in the morning that along with my two-three friends I was swimming in a pond. I defeated others and reached the other side of the pond and again came back to the starting point. The dream then went off.

[Five years later after having experiences of lots of ascent and descent realizations, I realized that this dream revealed  that I would have a fast course of austerity of ascent and descent in future. ]

Vision of my future                                                            

7) May3, 1972:  Early morning dream: A girl was seated in front of me, as if she would be married to me. I felt very upset. All on a sudden I observed that Sri Ramkrishna was sitting behind the girl with a sweet smiling face having an affectionate look on me. I had nothing but looking at him helplessly. Suddenly he took a paper and wrote on it that my marriage would be cancelled. Then the dream went off.

[The dream could not be followed for a long time, but gradually the effect of the dream came in my life in a way that the feelings for ritualistic marriage was eradicated from my mind and so ultimately remained bachelor].

Vision  of  Goddess  Saraswati  or  Deity  of  Vedic  knowledge

8) May 9, 1972, 

Noontime dream:  I was looking at the idol of Goddess Saraswati . All on a sudden to my utter Surprise she came out of the idol in flesh and blood and sat in front of me. I asked her, ‘Mother, what is called knowledge’? Though she answered but I could not remember after my dream went off.

[Saraswati is considered in Vedas, the symbol of vedic knowledge—The knowledge of knowing ‘self’

The dream indicated that in future the seer will gain knowledge of own self.]

Forecast of God-the-Preceptor about himself       

9) May13, 1972:

 Early morning dream: I saw the sky overhead, full of moonbeam light and a flock of illuminating birds flying beneath the sky. I had been observing these scenes from a 2-storied house. The ocean was seen in front of the house. Suddenly I observed that Diamond was sitting in front of me, showing me with his finger the scene and saying, ‘Hey! Look! Look!’ Then he turned round sitting in a different posture. Within a moment some-body came to him. I looked at him and found that he was my father, Diamond told me, ‘I am the greatest from Moses Period. I shall live for another ‘one and half thousand years’.

Then my father bowed down to his feet and he gave his blessings putting his hand on my father’s head. The dream then sent off.

[ Spontaneous revelation appeared in me in the following ways:

(a)  The light was seen in the fourth plane of the body.

(b)  Sky is seen in the fifth plane during austerity.

(c)  Here God-the-Preceptor gave his own introduction; among all the great religious teachers Diamond had experienced the highest order of austerity though basically all are same in class.

(d) The seer’s father also received the blessings of God the-the-Preceptor, though indirectly. ]       

Appearance  of  God-the-Preceptor

10) 18^th May, 1972, Thursday,  Early morning dream ;  I have gone to Calcutta University Science College at Ballygunge, Calcutta. One of my friend gave me an address and said, ‘Sri Jibankrishna (Diamond) is staying there’. Hearing this, I almost rushed to that house and saw Diamond sitting there. Seeing me he asked, ‘Why have you not come so long’? I gave my excuses and then my dream went off.

After a while again I felt asleep and saw in the dream that Diamond was sitting in a room on the 1^st floor. I sat beside him and he gave me the book ‘Sri Sri Ramkrishna Kathamrita (Gospel of Sri Ramkrishna) and said , ‘Read it’, I started reading and then the dream went off.

[ Here God-the-Preceptor gave  company to the seer for his satisfaction and consolation due to his long Detachment with Diamond in reality. ].

                                     

RELIGION AND REALIZATION BY DIAMOND PICKED UP IN THE STREET

529. “When an empty pitcher is dipped in the water of a tank, it makes a gurgling sound. It is filled up and silence follows. But if the water of the pitcher is poured into another pitcher, then again it sounds”.

Pitcher – is the human body.

Water – is Brahma (symbolic); it is so seen.

Tank – represents the seventh plane.

Sound – is Nad.

Silence – is Samadhi.

Pouring into another Pitcher – make a gift of Brahma Vidya.

Again it sounds – Descent.

530. “The devotee replied – It is Arjuna’s chariot I see. In front of it, both Lord Krishna and Arjuna are seated and talking. It makes me weep”.

Arjuna – represents ‘I’-ness or ego.

Chariot – is body.

Lord Krishna – is God with form.

The whole picture reveals that God has taken charge of the devotee and is conducting him. It is realization.

(Some lines from the song of Ramprasad).

531. “The yogi who enjoys in the Self, gets this Primordial Force of the body as Inner Self or Atman and the size of the Inner Self becomes ‘Pranab’ or ‘Aum’ or ‘Nad’ (Sound)”.

The plain meaning of the line is that Primordial Power or Adya Sakti in the body has got another form and that is Aum or Nad – a sound only. To throw more light on it, let us go a step more. Human body is microcosm and the Universe is macrocosm. The big universe before our very eyes has got another form as a sound, or in another words, a sound is seen as a big Universe. It is Vedic Descent, an individual realization and no proof can be set forth.

“Everything is possible with God”.

– Sri Ramkrishna

After penetration of the sound comes Sthitha Samadhi. Some advocates that this Nad sounds like Aum. Thakur differs with them and says that it is but the sound of a bell. He claims that it is so shown to him by the Divine Mother.

Aum – is a Sanskrit word. Sanskrit-knowing people may understand it; but, what about for the rest of the human race? So Thakur is right. God is for one and all. Nad is but One of His forms and it is meant for all, and not only for Sanskrit-knowing people. So Thakur is correct and Nad is a sound to be heard by all by the grace of God.
