Answer to the Subtle Experiment in Issue 230:

     Figure A had a picture of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa, a great Guru from 19th century Bengal, India. One feels Blissful while looking at it.

    Sri Ramakrishna was the epitome of spiritual emotion. Spiritual emotion means the intense awareness of God’s presence and intense love for Him. That is why this picture adorns the cover page of the Sanatan organization’s publication, Vol. 5A: Spiritual Practice for Awakening Spiritual Emotion. This volume gives practical suggestions and examples of how one can make efforts to awaken and increase spiritual emotion within oneself.

    On July 12, 2003, a distressing energy called Shivali gave the following information about this volume, “It is the wish of The Lord Himself that this volume should be published. This volume has the energy of the Holy text, Ramayana. The cover page of this volume contains 35% sattvikta (which is way above the average spiritual purity in pictures). Once this volume enters one’s home, it will be difficult for us to enter that home. It will be very difficult for us to trouble a seeker in possession of this volume, because the moment the seeker holds this volume, he will experience an increase in spiritual emotion.” One can imagine the benefits of actually practicing and developing spiritual emotion, if even a volume and cover page giving its importance can have such benefits.

*If one is not currently doing any spiritual practice, one can begin with the simple, but powerful spiritual practice of chanting or constantly remembering God's Name according to one's religion.

  • Seekers in the initial stages of spiritual practice (less than one year) can repeat The Name of the Lord as per their religion (refer to Issue 3 Clarification of Doubts section for details).
  • Those seekers who have been doing regular spiritual practice for over a year or so can determine the appropriate chant for them from the experiment given in Issue 124, Message to Seekers section.
