    For a ESP Test, chant* for a couple of minutes to achieve some concentration of the mind. Then stop chanting and observe an object for two minutes.
Then observe the reflection of that object in water for two minutes.

    Note down your perceptions for both the instances. The details of how to assess one’s perception of something can be seen by clicking on this section’s heading.

Answer to the ESP Test from the previous Issue (259) :

    The circle without the point in the center has 70% good vibrations and can restrict spiritually impure (tama) vibrations completely (100%). This figure does not receive and reflect tama vibrations at all. As a result, the vibrations coming from this figure are always good. Hence, one feels pleasant looking at it.

    However, once there is a point in its center, the percentage of good vibrations in it reduces to 50%. Similarly, the capacity to restrict tama vibrations, too, reduces to 50%. This figure also does not reflect or receive tama vibrations. Hence, one feels pleasant looking at this figure, too.

    However, when one compares the two figures, one feels better looking at the figure having no point in it for the above-mentioned reasons.

* Refer to Issue 23, Clarification of Doubts section for details about the mechanism of the mind and that of chanting (repeating God’s Name). 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).

  • 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.
