Topic: My encounter with Spirit
A teacher and his pupil were traveling between two villages when suddenly they heard a roar behind them. When they turned to face the source of the noise, a spirit could be seen trailing them.
The student was shocked and immediately wanted to flee, but thanks to his studies and self-discipline exercises, he was able to restrain himself and wait to see what his teacher would do.
"Master, what shall we do?" questioned the frightened student.
The instructor spoke calmly while turning to face the pupil and responding,
There are numerous choices.
We can allow the spirit to do with us as it pleases by filling our minds with paralyzing fear that prevents us from moving.
We can also flee, but if we do, the spirit will chase us down and catch us.
Fighting is a different alternative, but it's not a good one because the spirit is more powerful than we are.
In addition to sending the spirit our love, we might ask God to save us.
We also have alternative options. We have the option to use the power of our minds to affect the spirit. However, this necessitates intense focus.
We can use meditation to focus on our inner strength and the truth that we are connected to everything in the universe, including spirit, and in doing so, we can have an impact on its soul.
Which alternative do you select? questioned the terrified student. You are in charge. You direct my actions. There is not much time left.
The master cleared his mind of all ideas, aimed his eyes boldly toward the spirit, and sank into a profound state of meditation. He welcomed the spirit image as well as everything else in the Universe in his consciousness.
The teacher's consciousness merged with the spirit's consciousness in this stage.
The learner began to tremble in fear at this point because the ghost was already pretty near.
The spirit was getting pretty close and poised to leap at them when the pupil began to tremble in dread. He was astounded by his teacher's ability to maintain such composure and objectivity in the face of peril.
The teacher, in the meantime, kept meditating fearlessly.
The spirit eventually dropped its head, turned around, and disappeared after a while.
What did you do? the student asked his teacher in shock.
“Nothing. I simply stopped thinking about anything and merged spiritually with the weird image. On a spiritual level, we bonded in tranquility.
The spirit felt no threat or need to use violence since it could sense the inner quiet, harmony, and togetherness.
The teacher said, "When the mind is quiet and at peace, its tranquility is instantly conveyed to everything and everyone around, influencing them profoundly.
