messages in her meditation gave her a feeling that something similar<br />

must have been the mechanism by which the Vedas were heard by the<br />

Rishis. And probably that's why it is said that Vedas/ Upanishads,<br />

Brahma Sutras and Bhagavad Gita are from the divine origin and are<br />

Shrutis (Shruti means that which is heard).<br />

After hearing about the subject in the meditation or seeing it in a<br />

dream and then many times being led to specific books for further<br />

elaboration of the subject was another mechanism that was part of the<br />

above described process. The learning that came from that process was<br />

vast and it involved a wide variety of books, most of which she started<br />

reading in detail after the Maha Shivaratri. After Shivaratri some of her<br />

time was freed up (four times a day meditation to once a day) to spend it<br />

on reading scriptures. We have tried to describe the gist of her learning<br />

from the messages in the books in some order that made sense to us. We<br />

have used the excerpts from those books which we were led to through<br />

messages in the meditation, or were guided through the intuitive<br />

faculties. Couple of excerpts included is from our general recent reading<br />

of these books; they are here because they seem to help explain the<br />

subject more accurately than we could. Very likely, with time, <strong>Dolly</strong><br />

may take more ownership of her learnings and not hesitate to express the<br />

depth of her newly acquired knowledge, but at the moment she is more<br />

comfortable to quote others, who in her way of thinking are far more<br />

knowledgeable and have earned the right to speak more than she has at<br />

this point in time.<br />

1. Faith in Divinity<br />

Prior to these experiences, our interest, faith and devotion in God and<br />

religion was either minimal or it had not taken an expression. The<br />

miracles were powerful to arouse the interest and slowly convert it into<br />

faith and then came the unshakable faith. In one of Baba's books 'Prema<br />

Vahini' Baba said "This human birth is very difficult to attain. For a<br />

trouble free journey, there is nothing so reliable as remembrance of the<br />

name of the Lord." "Divinity cannot be experienced without faith and<br />

Shraddha (steadfastness). Only through Prema (love) comes Shraddha;<br />

only through Shraddha comes Jnana (knowledge); only through Jnana<br />

comes Para Bhakti (fully consuming devotion for God, and no desire or<br />
