However we can trace out the life of the Yogi preceding the grand event. The Yogi is a common person with minimum required knowledge of English and Sanskrit besides the native language. Till the age of 50 years he pursued the social obligations with desire, dedication and concentration tasting success of life in every aspect. There is a sudden change in the events thereafter. Intelligent planning and wise calculations and the confidence failed to yield expected results. The previous actions created problems beyond his capacities. Friends and professionals failed in their advice and faultered leaving the Yogi miserable and helpless at the bottom of despair and distress. Isolating himself, the Yogi faced the reverses single handed with no improvement. Prayers and prostrations to Gods yielded no results. His character, a blend of uncompromising, arrogant, ethical and moral conduct proved weak and was taken advantage by the adversaries and the situation continued for about eight years.
The rousing call of Swami Vivekananda awakened the sleeping spirit within, the content of which is as follows - "Why miserable? Who is responsible for the present state of affairs? Aren't your own actions? These insurmountable problems aren't the effects of your own dynamic involvements in massive schemes that invited jealousy and reaction? You made a big attempt to achieve a big success. Didn't you? Therefore you are alone responsible and you are the cause for the present situation. Who else will find solution for your problems? Your friends and professionals? Gods and Holymen? No. Surely, you are the right person to fight for the solution and put an end to the present misery. You know, who you are really? You are not the suffering body and mind. You are the invisible inner Soul and Spirit, Eternal, immortal and all pervasive. Enter thy heart and apprehend the soul and spirit face to face and know thy true nature. You are then the Master of the universe. It is unbecoming on your part to be caught miserably in the problems and cry for help. Awake; Arise; stop not till you achieve your goal. Pull out thy manliness and virility to action. Then the life is yours and the world too.
This message pierced into the heart and opened the eyes. Then itself the Yogi settled in the prayer room, quietening the mind and concentrating to dive deep into the heart in search of the truth under the backdrop of infernal suffering and abject misery. The situation changed to natural dispassion, renunciation, intense desire and effort and within a month the Yogi could detach himself from his body, transcend and find himself in the pleasant milky, moonlit like luminous state. The Yogi thus touched the luminous path in the heart leading to the Eternal and on the way enjoyed the experiences of Divine life in Divine forms and auras. Divine figures of Gods, Saints and holy personalities granted approbation and showered blessings on the lone traveller in the dreary desert journey.
A divine light descending from the yonder skies, entering the cavity and the divine auras formed round the heart and the head are the most exciting and splendid memorabilia and they confirm the availability of the Truth for verification. Seeing the same experiences in the pictures depicting Jesus Christ, on the occasion of being baptized by St. John - As the Holy Spirit of God coming down like a dove and alighting on Jesus the Yogi's excitement knows no bounds. The pictures of Christ showing light reddish aura round the holy heart and the head surely confirm in perpetuity the experiences of the Yogi and point out beyond doubt the yonder Truth, which is - unborn, undecaying, uncaused, emitting from its radiance, the holy spirit bringing into existence various worlds of manifold beings and becomings.
