to fly with you into the infinite. Just as the eagle does not fly with its nest, but leaves the nest behind and goes by itself, so our soul, in meditation breaks all limitations of sorrow and depression and goes above them. It will be such a freeing experience that you will be able to break the ice, the wall of limitations which leads so many people to psychosomatic disorders. You will be able to accomplish in one single moment what you could not do in five years with analysts
To experience this moment, you have to work, for you will not have it without sincere effort and right guidance. All the preparation of life is for this moment. It is only one moment, but it turns the whole life into infinity. This is called Realization, Self Fulfilment, or sometimes, God Realization. It comes, not to everyone's life, but to the life of aspirants. If you are an aspirant, this moment will come in your life and will burn out all the negative things. For example, it may take an entire week to rake dry grass from one place to another, but a fire will burn the dry grass in five minutes. In the same way, the anger, the hangups which cling to us can be burned in this beautiful, inspiring moment. So one experience in meditation is this kind of soaring.
Another experience is that of going into a state we call Nirvikalp or thoughtlessness. You see nothing and you feel you are not there. However, when you feel you are not there, then truly you ARE there. A painter is not able to create something unique and beautiful
