offended to forgive you, as you have forgiven others, including yourself. When your forgiveness is complete, the inside energy will come out.
"Feel you are health, you are life, you are love. Focus on that and touch the ailing part with your healing vibrations. Dwelling in a feeling of generosity, forgiveness, amity, and awareness, your pain will disappear, the illness will drop down, and your thoughts will stop creating negative vibrations which invite future disease.”
During monsoontime in Ahmedabad, Gurudev gave talks in which he helped people understand the law of radiation in life.
“There are countless layers covering our soul corresponding to the countless lifetimes we have lived. In meditation and awareness, we go on peeling. In the wrong company, we take on more layers; in the right company, we go on removing them, one by one. One thing happens, our inner radiation comes out. There is a law of radiation beneath our life. It is like the diamond. As you clean it and polish it, more radiation glows. You are able to live on your own strength. Another thing happens — in the universe, harming elements are not able to harm you. You are protected by your life, by your purity, by your light of love and non-violence."
One of Gurudev's students experienced the truth of this law in her own life. For years, she and her husband had been attending Gurudev's talks and building inner awareness. A few years later, the wife decided to take her daughter on a pilgrimage to Satrunjaya. First they planned to take a bath in the holy river Shatrunji Nadi. It was ten or twelve miles to the river, so the mother rented a bullock cart. After the first six miles had been covered, the driver of the cart became greedy and filled with lust. He started plotting how he could kill the old woman, then take away her daughter and her ornaments. While he was conniving in his mind, the mother started feeling some un-usually pulsating vibrations. At first she could not understand what was going on. So she started meditating on “Namo Arihantānam" without knowing the cause of the alarming feeling which had come over her. Then the driver stopped the cart.
