MIRACLE MAYA
"I thought this would be agood
subject for the book Miracle Maya, to help devotees
with mistaken notions
about Swami.Even though Bhagavan
left the body, impure
thoughts and feelings endanger a person's spiritual
progress."
Chapter 2
Finger Touch
Once when I was in Kodaikanal, a woman told me, “Everyday
I give a letter to
Swami.
When Swami takes my letter, He touches my fingers.”
I
was very surprised. Swami takes a letter from her every day! Why does He touch
her
fingers? Is it possible? Why does this woman talk in this way?
Thesethoughts
are due to the dirt inside her; the impressions she has carried
birth
after birth. It is lustful thoughts alone that make her talklikethis
about God.Even
if
Swami’s finger touched her, she should think that it is the consoling touch of
a father
or
a mother’s compassionate touch and feel grateful.
It is sinful to tell others that Swami takes your letter everyday
‘touching your
fingers’. He is God,God,God. In thisAge of Kali, women frequent thecinema.They
watch TV andread books and magazines that kindletheirworldly desires.
They then
talk
connecting themselves with Swami.
