This subtle, celestial stuff is absolutely, incredibly, charming, fascinating, mind-blowing when it opens-up, but it really has nothing to do with Realization. Like the TM-siddhis, the value is in the practice of samayama, not in the attainment of a particular siddhi itself. That really doesn't mean anything in the context of Realization. Talking to the diety of your mantra is like talking to the bus driver who's taking you someplace. Fascinating guy, but nothing to do with your destination. > > > > > ------------------------ Yahoo!
