599. “But we can guess her hand is reaching out to catch the moon”.

Better to read:

“Her movements (the Yogic Vibhutis manifested in and over her body) reveal that she has stretched out her hand for the moon”.

As aspirant through the urge of the awakened Life Power getting transformed into Divinity and this is so described here.

Moon – denotes Bhakti. An aspirant sees the moon in the Chetan Samadhi – the Samadhi attained by a Bhakta.

600. “Humbly says Chandidas, Radha has fallen into Krishna’s trap”.

Radha – causal body.

Krishna – Saguna Brahma. The causal body urges on its march to be transformed into Saguna Brahma.

The yogic form of a Kirtan of Uddhavadasa

601. “Who is the sorcerer that dwells in the Kadamba grove”?

Its reading in the original line:

“How does the sound come? Who is the man that dwells in the kadamba grove”?

Sound – in the sweet musical note of a stringed-instrument the Life Power or Kundalini awakens in some human bodies. The sound is heard. Here Radha hears the note, gets here Life Power awakened suddenly in her, startles and makes inquiry of the musician.

The man – the invisible and unknown God within. God in the body gives His grace and Life Power is awakened in a devotee.
Kadamba grove – this human body.

It is God’s grace alone which awakens Kundalini in a man and Radha has got her Kundalini awakened with the sweet notes of the music.

602. “His flute-notes suddenly enter my ears and strike a chord in my heart”.

The original reading is:

“Alack (I am) taken aback! The flute-notes enter my ears and rest and rest fixedly there”.

Taken aback – without any previous knowledge the Life Power awakens and the joy and wonders of the man know no bound.

Enters my ears – the sweet notes are heard.

Rest fixedly there – the memory bears the sweetness and they flash upon the inward hearing organs yielding a world of bliss. Sri Krishna is depicted in each and every picture with a flute in his hand.

Flute denotes back-bone through which the Life Power rises in the cerebrum. A flute has got 7 holes and there are seven planes in the human body. Sri Krishna with flute in his hand signifies that awakening of the Life Power depends upon the grace of God and it is in His absolute control.

603. “Piercing my very soul, they slay my Dharma and drive me mad”.

Piercing my very soul – the sweet flute-notes have enveloped my heart with such a thrill of joy that it is cherished and enjoyed at every moment of my life.

Slay my Dharma – ritualistic religion is vanished. Yes, when a man gets his Life Power awakened in him all ritualism vanishes.

Drive me mad – yes, just like a moth at the sight of a light in the darkness of night. The Life Power will keep him in a restless condition till Godhood is attained.

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

Universal  Austerity and  Realizations

 127.     25^th May, 1976. 

In the early morning just at the moment of awakening the face of  diamond's companion Khitish Chandra Roychoudhury appeared in front of me and then vanished.

The realization indicates that in future the seer may have the experience of universal austerity as ‘Khitish’ means universalism.

                                            

Allurement  of  women folks

128 .  26^th May, 1976. 

Early morning dream:  I was traveling on a bus. Suddenly a married woman sat beside me very intimately. I felt very uneasy. She was talking to another man. Then when she was going to talk to me, she felt that I was not her husband. So she suddenly got up and went away.  With a sense of relief I sat quietly. The dream went off. .

  

[The dream shows the future life of the seer when there will be many allurements in his life but by the grace of the Holy Ghost all will be removed. [In fact, the dream came true in the life of the seer.]       

Receiving  the  blessings  of  the  Holy Ghost

  

129.     27^th May, 1976,   

Early morning dream:   First I saw Dhirendra Nath Roy and many other devotees. Then I saw that my Holy Ghost stood beside me. I was realizing that this was the second life of the Holy Ghost after his demise.

 The place was my working place in the garden of the Agri-Horticultural Society of India, Kolkata. The Holy Ghost was saying to me so many things and I went on listening to him fixing my eyes on the earth. We were on a very easy mood. Suddenly I felt, oh! Why I had fixed my eyes on the earth! I should fix my eyes on the Holy Ghost and listen to his sayings and this would serve the purpose if I only looked at him. Realizing this I went on looking at the Holy Ghost and listening to his words. The Holy Ghost was saying all about yogas and I was asking questions now and then, though nothing I could remember after the dream.

After a while the Holy Ghost came to my house. Near a door of a room he was half lying resting one of his hand on the cheek. I was also seated near his lap. Once my legs unintentionally touched the Holy ghost’s body but I did not mind for it as I was feeling myself like a child to him and his dearest one. At this moment one of my uncles came inside the room and then left the room taking something in his hand. I felt hurt thinking why my uncle remained emotionless even after seeing Jibankrishna! Thereafter one of my aunty entered the room and  I noticed that a thin net cover blocked the eyes of the Holy Ghost (In reality the Holy Ghost used to describe this phenomenon that whenever any woman folk used to come before him his eyes used to be covered with a very thin net cover). Then my aunt left the room.

After a while the Holy Ghost expressed his willingness to accompany me for lunch. I saw that my mother entered the room with a plate full of food and the Holy Ghost said something to her. Then he sat for eating. I said to my mother that I also would take some food. My mother gave me a bowl of paios (a sweet dish made with rice, sugar and milk). But surprisingly the Holy Ghost took the bowl from the seer and started eating the paios. I observed that he was cherishing paios along with bread. After finishing the dish he said to me, ‘I shall sleep with you’. I went on thinking that this is a blocked room, how he would sleep with me! But the Holy Ghost did not listen to me and decided to sleep with me and here the dream went off.

[The long dream shows that the Holy Ghost has a great fascination for the seer and continues to teach the seer all about yogas.]

                                      

Merging  of  dream  into  reality

130.      30^th May, 1976.  Place:  Makardah, Howrah.

 

It was 4 A.M. Mr. Indranath Mukherjee was reading the Bengali book ‘Dharma-O-Anubhuti’ (Written by Jibankrishna or Diamond)), 3^rd part after finishing Sri Ramkrishna-Kathamrita. Sometimes  I was falling into sleep and sometimes I was in the awakening condition . During this time I was hearing the reading of Mr. Mukherjee. Then once he fell into a deep sleep and had a dream—I went out of Mr. Raghunath Sen’s residence at Taltala after long discussions with many other devotees as usual practice and came towards Esplanade.  Mr. Mukherjee was accompanying me and reading very loudly ‘Dharma-O-Anubhuti‘. I was hearing this loud sound and thought—Oh! Why he is reading all these things so loudly among so much crowd ! But Mr. Mukherjee continued reading near my ears. When I again woke up, I was hearing the reading of Mr. Mukherjee inside the room. Again I slept and again I had the same experience as before and wherever I was going  Mr. Mukherjee continued reading near my ears. At last when I woke up finally, I heard that Mr. Mukherjee still was continuing reading the book ‘Dharma O Anubhuti’.

[I realized  that what Mr. Mukherjee was reading in reality the same thing I was hearing even in dream.

Thus both dream and reality merged inside me which is a symptom of a very highly powerful brain power.]

595. “Filled with restlessness, she cannot keep her dress arranged”.

Dress – body.

The awakened Life Power proceeds upward and makes her forgetful of the body. Radha is a lady and a lady is to keep her body well covered; but Radha fails here, i.e. she has become forgetful of her body. It is so with a Yogi. He forgets his physical sheath. Thakur sometimes in high mood used to go naked.

596. “Her jewels have fallen off; she trembles every now and then”.

The proper reading should be:

“She is in a sitting posture and shudders every now and then; her ornaments from the body fall off”.

Shudders – sometimes Life Power becomes more powerful and brings about shuddering.

Yes, trembling is also an insignia of Yogic Vibhuti (expressions over the body) but it is of inferior quality. Shuddering is looked upon as a Samadhi in a lesser degree.
Ornaments – inside ties of the body.

Every now and then the Life Power is marching to the cerebrum and coming down again and it makes the passage easy by removing the inward obstructions and making the nerves strong enough to withstand the force of the Life Power.

597. “Alas, she is so young! A princess born, and a wife besides”.

The proper reading should be:

“Alas, she is tender! A princess born and a lady of the Zenana besides”.

She – causal body.

Tender – newly grown.

Princess – daughter of a king.

The term ‘king’ may be read from two different aspects – (i) Self and (ii) human body. The causal body may come in Descent and it may come out in Ascent.

A lady of the Zenana – not unlike a woman of the Zenana (harem) the causal body remains confined within. (The harem system was introduced into India some 400 years before when Chandidas flourished). Here Chandidas compares the causal body with the lady of the harem.

598. “What is it that she craves? We do not understand her mind”.

The proper reading should be:

What is her design? What tempts her? What makes her to do the pretensions”?

Design – no design at all. It is the nature of Life Power when awakened to express this Yogic Vibhuti.

Tempts her – the nature of the causal body is to get transformed into God. It is an urge and not temptation.

Pretentions – no pretention at all. It is a layman’s ignorant remark. Chandidas, the poet and aspirant both, points out all these Yogic Vibhutis in a light tone of jeer, looking upon himself as a comrade of Radha.

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

Chapter 27

                 

Increase of  spiritual  power

121.  9^th May , 1976.    Early morning dream:  In the first scene Mr. Khitish  Roychoudhury and Mr. Arun Ghosh were seen. Discussions on spiritual aspects were going on with them. Nothing more were remembered.

In the second scene, I saw myself walking with Mr. Arun Ghosh at Dalhousie square area on their way of returning from the Raghunath Sen’s house at Taltala, Calcutta. Thereafter I became alone and stood at a place. Suddenly I saw a very fine thing coming out of my body and fell on the ground. I went on observing the thing and thought that this was a poison and came out of my body. Suddenly a voice was heard saying ‘This is also called metal poison. Then the scene changed.

In the third scene it was observed as if I ordered for my pajama (loose trouser made of thin cloth) in a tailor’s shop, and so I went to the tailor’s shop whether it was made. But the tailor showed me a very colorful pajama. I said, ‘this is not my pajama’. At this time my elder brother came there followed by the owner of the shop. I told the tailor about this matter but at the same time thought—‘oh!’ I have not given them the order for a pajama, then why should I come here!’ So I came out.

  The scene again changed and in the fourth scene I was hearing the voice of my elder brother saying that I ate hot chilies. Then and there elder brother said, ‘It is not enough’, Hearing this I woke up.

[Every scene has got meaning: The first scene indicates that the seer has got continuous practices on spiritualism; the second scene indicates that factors detrimental to spiritual advancement are being removed from the body of the seer; the third scene shows that the body of the seer is not yet ready for realizations under the waist; the last scene  indicates that the spiritual power although has been increased within the seer, yet more realizations will occur within him as is said by his elder brother or God .  Jibankrishna depicted elder brother as symbol of God as mentioned in the book ‘The Gospel of Sri Ramkrishna’.]

Fixation  of  spontaneous  recitation  of

Jibankrishna’s  name  in  the  brain       

122.    10^th May, 1976.  

To-day as soon as I woke up early morning, spontaneous recitation of the name ‘Jibankrishna’ (Diamond) used to occur in my mind. During work it used to be stopped temporarily but as soon as I was off from the work, it used to continue and lasted for the whole day even during conversations with others. It stopped before going to bed at night.

 

This condition shows that the seer need not do anything with self exertion. Everything is spontaneous.

Accompaniment  with  devotees  and  spontaneous  

spiritual  practices   

123.       14^th May, 1976.  Early morning dream:  Many devotees have come to my house. The prominent figures were Anath Nath Mondal and  Arun Mukherjee. Both of them could not come during a gathering in reality and so I was a bit worried. After a while the dream went off.

[The lacking in reality is thus fulfilled in dream, of course in the spiritual world.]

Indication  of  achieving  new  realizations

124.     15^th May, 1976. 

Early morning dream:  During sleeping I turned from left side to right side. At the moment I fell into a half awakened condition, suddenly I felt a bursting sound inside my head as if the cork of a soda water bottle was opened.  For a moment I felt a slight nervousness, but immediately controlled myself. Thereafter two to three consecutive sounds were heard. Then I fell asleep.

 

[The dream signifies that some new cells in the brain have opened up for future realizations.]

Indication of high potentiality of brain power

and realizations in Ascent during Austerity              

125.      17^th May, 1976.  

Early morning dream:  I was climbing up a hill top by a vehicle pulled by a number of horses. After travelling for a long distance I reached the hill top. That place was covered with fog. The vehicle stopped there. Then I climbed down to the other side and reached a house. But the owner of the house was unknown to me. Everything there was unknown to me. The dream went off.

The dream shows that the potentiality of the seer’s brain power has become very high as indicated by the horse-power. The fog indicates ‘Paramatma’  or Supreme Being and climbing down indicates that the seer in future will have the austerity in Ascent.

Accompaniment with  devotees  and  spiritual  practices

  126.      24^th May, 1976.  

Early morning dream:  Many devotees e,g, Khitish Roy Choudhury . Arun Ghosh, Dilip Ghosh etc. had come to my house. All of them were on the roof . Dilip Ghosh seemed to be highly delighted. Everybody was enjoying with devotional songs and reading of the books Kathamrita etc. Here the dream went off.

 

[The seer is enjoying the spiritual practices even in dream as in reality]

593. “Restless, breathing hard, she looks towards the Kadamba grove”.

Restless – the awakened Life Power makes her slowly swing and sometimes makes her dance in a sitting position like a frog.

Breathing hard – sign of yearning for God. The mind is at the middle of the fourth plane and the fifth plane in the heart. This hard breathing is the insignia.

Kadamba grove – this human body –

(i) Sri Krishna – God in the body.

(ii) Tree – man, the best receptacle.

The Vaishnavas have compared their body with Kadamba tree as it is described in the Bhagavat and in other mythologies that Sri Krishna (the imaginary God with form) was fond of playing beneath the Kadamba tree and it was his favorite tree. So Radha looks towards the Kadamba grove as if Sri Krishna is hidden there.
“A man is the best receptacle where God manifests in the highest degree”.

– Sri Ramkrishna

Looks towards the Kadamba grove – her visions have turned towards the inside body in search of Krishna. A Yogi’s vision is confined in his body. God is to be seen nowhere, save and except, in the human body. The awakened Life Power in the Yogi turns the vision within and realizations of the manifestations of God take place. To see Sri Krishna is not the seeing of God. But it is seeing of Ishta – the imaginary form of Life Power after one’s own liking. It is not the seeing of God as specified by Sri Ramkrishna. The actual seeing of God will give its own publicity. If the seeing of God is in its full measure then He becomes God. To see God is to become God. This seer of God will be seen by thousands within them and in some cases He asserts Himself and declares, “Look here: I am God”. It is carried out in Mahayoga, having its origin from Mahakarana which cannot be fathomed. Here effect becomes the tangible cause. The whole system is an automatic, expressive manifestation of the Life Power. It has its birth in a single individual and in its full course, it unites all into One in the spiritual world.
Radha or any aspirant will get all the above signs of Yoga on the body and they will be marked by others.

594. “Is she afraid of the elders? Has she been possessed by a ghost”?

The proper reading should be:

“How is that? She is not afraid of the wicked elders. Has she got within any Devata (Divine power awakened in her)”?
The wicked elders – yes, passions of the human body are first to appear in the body. They have got a priority claim over the body and they are all wicked as they are the obstructions on the way of the attainment of God. Like parents and other superiors who have come first and I have come afterwards so the passions have come first and they are compared with the elders.

Has she got any Devata in her – yes, her Life Power is awakened in her by the grace of God, so she sets at naught all the evil passions.

ACHIEVEMENT  OF  GODHOOD

118.   3^rd May, 1976.  

Early morning dream:   I am scolding a familiar person as he is giving a wrong interpretation on religion. My facial appearance was completely changed, My entity seemed to be like God. Meanwhile an unknown person came and said to me, ‘You have become God, still why are you saying in this manner’? But I did not listen to this and continued to scold that person and then the dream was off.

[The dream indicates the condition of the seer that he has achieved the God –

hood as is confirmed by an unknown person or God Himself.]

DESTRUCTION  OF  OLD  PREJUDICES  AND  INDICATION

OF  NEW  REALISATIONS

119.     6^th May, 1976.   

Early morning dream:  A very huge building was seen. I used to reside at the top floor of that building . Some people came carrying a locker for me to keep in that room.  When I was going to enter the room, I felt the existence of a ghost in the room. At the first instance I became a little bit frightened, but ultimately I overcame it and entering the room began to scold the ghost to get out of the room. While scolding spontaneous uttering of the word ‘Jibankrishna’ use to occur within my body. Then the ghost gets out of the room. Here the dream is off.

[The dream indicates that all the past prejudices which are symbols of ghost are                                       

 eliminated from my mind  and more and more new realizations will occur in future ]

VISION OF OTHER’S CONDITIONS AND SHOWER OF THE BLESSINGS OF HOLY GHOST

 120.     7^th May, 1976.  

Early morning dream:  I got the news that Diamond (Jibankrishna) had come again to his residence at Kadamtala, Howrah. It seemed even within the dream that the Holy Ghost appeared again after his demise. I was living in my old residence at Kadamtala (When I used to reside from 1953 to 1962 when Diamond was alive and used to reside near our house). As soon as the news came I prepared myself for going to Kadamtala.At the time of going out it seems to me—Oh! It was out of my knowledge that Diamond has come! Otherwise I would have gone earlier. However at about 5-45 p.m. I had gone out for Diamond. As after long years I was going to his place, I cannot just remember where was the exact lane, but notice that the road is blocked in front. So I again came back and as soon as came near the lane, as if somebody pull me inside the lane and put me in front of Diamond’s room. There I saw Sudhindra Nath Sinha and  Indranath Mukherjee sitting inside the room . There were no other devotees. Mr. Mukherjee was reading Sri Sri Ramkrishna Kathamrita and Diamond was sitting on the floor near the door. I noticed that still then no arrangement was made for the cot and even his luggage did not reach. I was thinking that after so long years he had come, would he recognize me! But as soon as I reached the balcony and stood on the lane, Diamond exclaimed, ‘Oh! Come, come!’ Mr. Mukherjee said to  Diamond indicating me, ‘He is having plenty of realizations’. Hearing this Diamond said, ‘Oh! It is quite obvious that he is having plenty of realizations. He will have more and more realizations in future—He will have more!’ Hearing this my body sparkled. At this moment I noticed that Diamond’s body became much stronger. When, standing on the lane I touched my head on the balcony, with great affection Diamond  touched his hand on my head  and poured his blessings upon me. Mr. Mukherjee then made me a place to sit. Both of them then had gone inside the house for some purposes.  After taking Kathamrita  (The Gospel of Sri Ramkrishna) I was going to start reading but failed to find out the same chapter which had so long been read by Mr. Mukherjee . Diamond said, ‘Well, let it be’. Then he started telling spiritual conditions of others. At the first instance he told me about  Sudhindra Nath Sinha—‘Well , you look after Sudhin’. I informed him about his family trouble going on at present  (In reality it was so). I said, ‘See, brother Abala (Mr. Abala Kanta Dutta) sometimes becomes  depressed and then again becomes alright’. He said, ‘He is not supposed to be in such condition’! Then he spoke about Mr. Khagendra Nath Ghosh of Sainthia, Birbhum, ‘Once I told him to come to Calcutta, but he did not do (In reality he said to Mr. Ghosh to reside at Calcutta). I became more curious about hearing many other’s spiritual conditions from his mouth, but suddenly the dream was off.

[In this dream the spiritual conditions of some devotees are revealed to the seer by the grace of God-the-Preceptor and at the same time the blessings of the Holy Ghost pour upon the seer indicating his achievement of more and more realizations in future.]

Friday, April 24, 1885

590. “M – Shall we give her milk of green cocoanut, Sir? Thakur – Better to give her drink made of sugar candy”.

To drink the milk of green cocoanut – when an aspirant’s realizations of the Tantras are complete, he shall see it in a dream or in a trance – he is drinking the milk of green cocoanut from the shell.

Sugar candy – Brahma.

Drink made of sugar candy – it is Bhakti or the juice of Hari – Harirasa.

591. “I like to see, you two argue, but no compromise, please”.

As long as there are two, so long there is argument. But when one, there is no argument – Advaitam. Yes, everything stops functioning.

No compromise – Religion is a positive thing and never admits of any compromise, either yea, or nay. Either you have seen God or you have not seen God – there is no half-way measure.

Religion is a positive thing and in individualistic religion it cannot be so proved but it bears its own proof in Universalism. Yes, in Individualism it is confined within one individual and the rest of the mankind have got to believe him, whereas in the Universalism, the people realize and they speak.

Universalism means the seer of God becomes God and attains Godhood and the proof it bears that He will be seen by thousand others within their bodies and they shall announce it – the most wonderful positive proof and something unique in its character as it never happened in the annals of the world.

The Yogic form of Kirtan of Chandidas

592. “A hundred times each hour, in and out of the room she goes”.

She – Radha – mind or Life Power.

Room – body.

Out – the seventh plane – the Varanasi of Siva which is counted by the Yogis as in the outside of the world.

A hundred times each hour – Every now and then the mind is going up and coming down. The mind or Kundalini or Life Power leaves the body and goes to cerebrum but cannot stop or rest there as it is the beginning of the process of getting oneself transformed into God.

Radha or an aspirant has got the taste of Godliness as Yoga has awakened in the body. When Yoga awakens in one, these outward signs are also seen to manifest over the body.
