A few days back, hit a new milestone. Now sometimes whoever I am conversing with, I can see their Antar Atma or the Shukshma Atma (soul) in my visions (when I close my eyes for a second) (this is no imagination or dream or hallucination; its like a superimposed vision). Not always. Suppose I see their soul once, it does not mean I have to spot it everytime I see them. And I don’t keep seeing everyone’s soul. Just a selected few. First I was confused. Thank god, I am in touch with someone who is ‘awakened’ and who is a follower of Ramana Maharishi. He crossed these spiritual milestones months back. Looks like my own spiritual growth is modeled on his way of evolvement. I got a few tips on how to remember and identify whose soul is which one!
Besides messages and visions from deities, I view the soul thing as a milestone in my spiritual journey. All these things I never bargained for. I am ritualistic but am very sincere in my pujas. Just a housewife/mother/grandma here. Nothing extraordinary. Something changed in last couple of years when I started losing interest in everything. I am playing along my role in family life/material world that’s all. I still browse online for shopping for saris; i still want to go on tours; i still want to enjoy life; but the earlier crushing interest in things is gone. Now its more like an attempt to stay normal and regular like others around me.
I am omitting my deity darshans from the post. You take one step forward, Divine Mother takes two steps towards you. That’s what I can say.
