Nowadays, I see some popular Gurus making their supposedly ‘mysterious
experiences’ as their USP. They urge their prospective disciples to believe
what they experience as the ultimate reality.
Though I have discussed some mysterious experiences in my book “Mysterious experiences – A peek beyond the confines of the Mind”, I have all along held the position that even if it is a
fact that you have experienced something unusual, what you think you have
experienced need not be true.
A lunatic may experience lot of things. His experiences are
real in the sense he has gone through them. But what he has experienced need
not be true. A drug addict may feel as if he is flying in the air. But in reality
he may be just lying down on his couch!
Somebody’s mysterious experiences by themselves do not
prove him to be a mystic or a self realized person. It just means that he has
experienced something for which he has no explanation. There may not be
anything ‘spiritual’ about it. It could be just some weird happening in the
brain😉
It is not always necessary to interpret things
we don’t understand as ‘spiritual’ or for that matter, as ‘realization’.
