and gave me the same granulated prasad and she gave it from an empty hand out of nothing!
"There I took up a little mud in my hand and stowed it in one envelope and a little (transformed into prasad) in another. And, lo, the dry black mud. changed into prasad, was now moist and brown whereas the other envelope was dry with the hard clay, black as ever!
"But even this is not all. Listen.
"A few minutes later Indira said: "0 Dada, the clay you kept in your other envelope has been partly changed into prasad by Divine Grace. Go and look!"
"We all went. agog, to my desk and then, lo and behold. the dry mud which had not even been touched by Indira was mud no more but shone, transformed into the same kind of granulated prasad "23
Roy, with the feeling of reverence for Indira Devi's higher spiritual faculties.
"...she has been sent from on high missioned to reveal something of great value not to me alone but to authentic spiritual seekers of all climes."124
Indira Devi performed a very important role in Roy's life. Roy, who had been influenced by Sri Ramkrishna's ideas since his childhood, began to doubt the truth of spirituality when he grew into a young man because of his Western education. So, although he had always believed that miracles were performed by great yogis and messiahs in all ages, he often yearned to witness a few miracles so as to attest from personal experience that Divine Power can even change the laws of nature. The first miracle of his life took place in his life when he met a yogi named Barodakanta Majumdar who foretold him with proof that Sri Aurobindo was his appointed guru and nobody else. The same Yogi met Roy in Calcutta in 1937. He prophesied at that time:
"... you won't realize Krishna in Pondicherry. For that you will have to wait till the advent of a highly evolved lady. When she will come to cooperate with you as your disciple, then only will you get your heart's desire."125
That highly evolved lady', Indira Devi, came into Roy's life to fulfil his desire of watching miracles in his own life, as it is seen, by bringing in a train of supra-physical experiences. When Roy himself witnessed those mystical and miraculous happenings during their life together, a kind of conversion took place
