also bowed down. The ascetic to whom the entire town bowed and who never
bowed to anyone except one Lord, today he is bowing down helplessly to
somebody whom he did not know earlier, nor had any inclination of his
coming, or his address, nor sung his praises, nor exalted him in the eyes of
anyone that he is the Light of the world.
His head bowed down fully. He said: 'Greetin1,rs to you'. He went nearer
and again said: 'Greetings to you' and touched his forehead to the ground
and sat down, the head of the hermitage, on the same barren but fortunate
land, where the king ofkings, the prophet of prophets was sitting. He did not
notice his disciples who were sitting close to him.
In the ecstasy and in the wondrous feeling ofthe ecstasy, he sat down and
his eyes got glued to the glimpse of the Guru.
Like, when one is thirsty, the lips get joined to 'both hands joined with
palms up' and the 'both hands joined with palms up' getjoined to the source
of water. Similarly, the eyes drank the nectar of the glimpse and kept on
drinking.
He is drinking the nectar ofthe glimpse and getting lost in the ecstasy. For
quite a long time, the ascetic kept on sitting in this ecstasy. The intoxication of
the drinks, that he had at night, had faded and he felt a hangover. After
coming out of the hangover he got a cup of the Name nectar.
For the hangover from drinks the remedy is to have more drinks. Blessed,
lucky, fortunate is the person who gets a drop of Name nectar after the
hangover of the cheap intoxication of drinks.
When the drunkards drink, they throw a few drops on the ground. But
here the bestowal of Name nectar has not thrown a few drops on the 1,JTound
but has been showering the Name nectar since last night. The ascetic got
drenched in the priceless shower of Name nectar unawares. His hangover is
gone. He is in ecstasy. He is getting a sweet sensation. He is feeling light and is
feeling an elevation like intoxication. The ascetic is not drunk. He is not
unconscious. To be drunk, or be unconscious are not the signs of soul
awakening. The ascetic is tranquil, feeling very light and his mind is in blossom,
in elevation and in rapture. He is deeply absorbed in ecstasy.
In this state of mind he sat. For a long time he kept sitting.
o dear yogi, this is meditation. But the practitioner of Hath yoga has not
realized that this is the real meditation. However, without realizing, he is in
wondrousness. Now, this marvel is taking the yogi into wondrousness and the
wondrousness is giving rapture. His mind has stopped thinking, because the
mind that does the thinking is busy in enjoying the ecstasy of the Name nectar.
