________________
unusually dark eyes that seemed to see into your soul. Instead of speaking, Ramu would only look at you and he seemed to know without words, what thoughts and feelings were present. And since the Swami himself was an accomplished psychic, Ramu was an ideal receiver for the Swami's transmissions or messages.
Anyway, everyone in the room was very excited about the experiment and I had no doubt that it would yield some stunning results. First, the Swami placed a blindfold upon Ramu and seated himself at the opposite side of the room from his disciple. Then I was asked to open a very large book containing almost a thousand pages of closely printed words and to point at different places in the book. Since I was in a different corner of the room from both the Swami and Ramu, there was no question of the Swami or the blindfolded Ramu being able to see where I pointed to in the book.
The Swami then asked Ramu, in a sharp voice, “Ramu, what is the number of the page that Guruji is opened to?"
There was a pregnant silence in the room during which everyone greatly anticipated Ramu's response and it was created as much by apprehension that the psychic would be incorrect as anything. But, Ramu responded, true to form, that the page was numbered “28”. I, however, did not register any surprise, but only nodded to Ramu's correct intuition.
