So the silence realized by Srimadji,Krishnaji, Deedi herself become possible for each and every soul, which is potentially pure and divine, as Srimadji says:
"SHUDDHA BUDDHA CHAITANYAGHAN, SWAYAM JYOTI SUKHDHAM;
BIJU KAHIYE KETALU, KAR VICHAR TO PAM....!"
Which means:
"ENLIGHTENED PURE, PERFECT CONSCIOUSNESS,SELF BRILLIANT & SHINNING, ABODE OF HAPPINESS; WHAT MORE TO ELABORATE ? HAVE EAGERNESS, DIVE DEEP INTO SILENCE AND YOU SHALL REALIZE THIS!"
(Saptabhashi ATMASIDDHI: 117)
It is great fortune of this Age that the Depths and Forums of Inner Silence which has been scaled by Great Seers like Srimadji and Krishnaji have been realized, interpreted and simplified for a common man, a common seeker by Deedi Vimalaji. That enlightened self within is attainable through inner silence. If it is attainable ( not even "attainable", but to be "uncovered") by Vinobaji, Srimadji, Krishnaji or Vimalaji;
It should be possible for any eager and alert common man! This message of Srimadji and Krishnaji both has been brought home here by Deedi. She sees no potential difference in Srimadji and Krishnaji. She writes in one of her letters to the author of these lines :
"Srimad Rajchandra was VITARAGA-totally detached Great Man. Sri J. Krishnamurti was Life-Loving Self Realized Greatman. Truth is infinite, Its different forms are manifested through different great souls. There are seven colours in Sun-rays. One colour is not the same as another colour. But all are risen out of one Sun."
Such interpretations of potential similarities in all Self-realized Souls expressed by Deedi from time to time, helps to dive into the depths of those great souls and our own self within. This not only helped in my Self-study through Atmasiddhi, but also in the study of other great souls. It taught me to be like a "mirror". And this self-learning lead me to a joyous state. This mirror helped everywhere. Through this Mirror, I could see myself in Krishnamurti and in all whom I came across. It was in this spirit that when I had commenced editing of "Saptabhashi Atmasiddhi" guided by Gurudev Sri Sahajanandghanji Bhadra Muni at Hampi in early 1970 and thereafter. In those days probably in 1972, Deedi advised me to meet personally Sri J.Krishnamurti, who was then camping in Bangalore. With Deedi's reference and recommendation, when I met this Great speaker, I was overwhelmed with this humbleness and sweet words:"Welcome, Sir! What can I do for you?" and finding my own mirror in him, I had unusual joy of spending one long hour with then, discussing useful topics of Silence and Meditation etc. This whole inspiring event, taking me into his further contacts at Bangalore Lal Bagh Talks, Bombay Talks, Rishi valley Camp and Bangalore valley School, has been written elsewhere.
