Declare your oath and the circle will disappear. Then I shall be able to present myself, and fulfill your desire. But take an oath, never to chant or even remember the Mantra; take an oath!"
Shrikant got astounded. No Navakara for life! Only then the ghost would appear in person! How great is the Prabhava of the Navakara! He pondered over the matter.
"You want the Siddhi, is it not? Then take the oath and have your Siddhi as you desire!"
"What a fool am I! A great fool indeed! I chant the Navakara right from my childhood. And I should give up the Mantra for the sake of an ordinary worldly power!”
The ghost was asking him repeatedly to take the oath. But his mind got steady and firm now in the Navakara.
"Even gods fear this Mantra. What will be my gain if I lose this Mantra?”
He shouted : "No, no! that is not possible! Crores of worldly Siddhis shall not force me to the foolishness of renouncing the Navakara."
He had nothing now to say. He commenced there itself the Japa of the Navakara Mantra.
"Go!" He ordered.
For the whole night Shrikant sat there and continued with the Japa of the Mahamantra. Just there he experienced a state of deep meditation.
The first rays of the sun touched his body and he opened his eyes.
Flowers had spread on all his sides; a garland of flowers was there in his neck.
