Mystic Elements in the Writings of Srimad Rajchandra 81 and to the Truth that he has realised rather then to the dogmas of any particular religious denomination. This trait is cleary evident in the writiogs of Śrimad Rajchandra.
(7) Due to the Mystic Experience, the mystic experiences identify with the Supreme Reality. He realises that there is no difference between his pure nature and the Supreme Reality. This experience of identity may lead to utterence where the mystic adores himself. Such utterences are not wanting in Srimad's writings. To quote only one :
અવિષમપણે જ્યાં આત્મશાન વતે છે, એવા o's 214745' ñ 34?*? * 47781?..."
(4713 376) (8) As the mystic is aware of his greatness from the transcendental point of view, he is also aware of limitations from the emperical standpoint. As a true spiritualist, Srimad is aware of his own limitations not only this, he even confesses what are his limitations. He even magnifies his own limitations so that he may be able to free himself from them as soon as possible.
(9) Though the mystic lives in the body he realises that he is distinct from the body.
