________________ Mystical experiences A number of morphic experiences enumerated for proving' existence of soul; God, Ghost in some palaces or buildings or in some human body, or dreams as near death experiences. E.g. Jnaneshvara, Arjun saw cosmic form of God which filled the whole universe or photic experiences such as vision of fire, lightening, dazzling light of crores of suns or various colours of vibgyor. Kabir has experience of all ten avataras present before him in cinematographic show in one night compressed in single moment which · the aspirant with consciousness of infinite power of God. Vision in waking state or dreaming state is just a thought-deep thinking which gives vision of non-existing object. In susupti or dream or your deeply thinking or concentrating on some thought. It is loss of consciousness you are not aware of the outer world you are unconscious and object which you see is non-existing object of dream world which are not real. There are also sound experiences – phonic experiences in which aspirant hears sound which are not struck. Sounds of different musical instruments like drums, flutes, cymbals, trumpet, or words with slender tunes like om in Samadhi or hearing anhat sound etc. Such experiences come in any order, a rumbling cloud or glittering of lightening. There are tactual experiences - where saint touches God. Saint is not satisfied with vision and craves for touch. There is combination or amalgamation of phonic, photic and morphic experiences. Psychologist speak of inter influence of sensations. A very faint light becomes visible when tuning fork is sounded near the ear or auditory acuity is increased when rays of different lights are shown to the eye. There is synchronousness of light & sound. • Devotion is anabolic (ana-up, ballein-to throw) building up attitude of longing for God. It exalts or lift up to divine region. Beauty is metabolic (meta-beyond ballein-to throw) maintains equanimity. There is joy in experiencing beauty at the same time feeling of harmony and equanimity. Sublimity is catabolic emotional ectasy (cata=down, ballem=to throw). It is process of breaking down, humbles down or conquers the mind.. An object is beautiful which brings the mind in state of peace & harmony & maintains equanimity. Mystical experiences must be invalid which does not stand any intellectual clarification of thought.
