28th December, 1937
Talk 434.
Being Christmas holidays, there is a great rush of visitors from far and near.
A group of them sat down and two among them asked as follows:
D.: Do you know English?
Prompted to ask questions, he continued:
D.: Have you realised your Self?
Sri Bhagavan smiled and said, “Go on, continue.”
D.: Have you experienced nirvikalpa samadhi?
He was asked to finish his questions.
D.: Can you enter into nirvikalpa samadhi at will? Is it not necessary
that sages should influence their surroundings?
Another man asked: Can Sri Bhagavan help us to realise the Truth?
M.: Help is always there.
D.: Then there is no need to ask questions. I do not feel the everpresent
help.
M.: Surrender and you will find it.
D.: I am always at your feet. Will Bhagavan give us some upadesha to
follow? Otherwise how can I get the help living 600 miles away?
M.: That Sadguru is within.
D.: Sadguru is necessary to guide me to understand it.
M.: The Sadguru is within.
D.: I want a visible Guru.
M.: That visible Guru says that He is within.
D.: Can I throw myself at the mercy of the Sadguru?
M.: Yes. Instructions are necessary only so long as one has not
surrendered oneself.
D.: Is no particular time necessary for meditation?
