Or, at the end of a long(short), day, where time does not exist: In that place of Silence. There can be a space created, in your own awareness; Quite outside of the egos domain, but nonetheless, your's... In this quiet space, you could do Sanyama on Compassion... Compassion, and then transcend for a minute: To Be inside Maharishi's body for a minute, or a second... And experience how frail he feels compared to how he used to be. Traveling throughout the world; making friends with George Harrison, and John Lennon, and princes and kings, and generals, and all of us. In big halls, and small ones, hanging out with nuts like Charlie Lutes, and good people like Jerry Jarvis. Teaching around the world, in Africa, and Asia, in Saudi Arabia, and Etheopia, in the good 'ol U.S.A. One of his favorite places was Lake Tahoe, in California; I saw a picture of him once there- he looked so happy. He is so small in stature, only 5 feet tall. His feet are so petite, he only wheres the simplest of sandels, on his feet, even in the dead of winter in Iowa, where the wind chill was minus 40 below, he just wore a shawl around himself, to keep warm. He appeared in Iowa, to have been at home, but he must have felt that way wherever he appeared. He certainly changed the world in so many myriad ways. Just last week, Deepak Chopra, was on TV, again, writing another book, this one on Buddha, and in captions below Deepaks name read: Deepak Chopra is a disciple of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi; This was broadcast on a show that is watched by millions of people. So, back to my point: that is if you could get out of your little self for a minute and have the comapassion to feel what it must be like to be 90 years old, and so on, you would have a real sense of reality, not one from the egos point of view, but one more from the soul's point of view. Each and every Siddhi which is experienced is a witness to Unity Consciousness, and the deflation of the false ego reality of seperateness...
