⟦ru⟧ ⟦ru⟧: How Guruji disappeared in front of his neighbor
§1
The neighbour in Gwalior and the evening on the roof: "I disappeared in front of him"
Book 2 · Samadhis and the practice years, told as events Also: Mantra, tantra, ritual and powers
Guruji: We were neighbours in Gwalior. When I was living in a rented house they were living in front of me. He is Lovely, my old friend. We were neighbours when I was living in Gwalior. And I will tell you a very interesting incident because now he is here, so it reminded me. So many persons were coming to see me. And we were having a good time talking and he was not aware that I am a yogi and I am practicing yoga. So one evening in 1988 we were standing on his roof, just having a breath of air and that’s it. And he asked me, “What you do, why these people come? Are you an astrologer or a tantrik?” I said: “No”. “Then what do you do?” And I disappeared in front of him. And he was so afraid that he came to see me after 18 years of that incident. He thought that I am a ghost.
Then I became aware that anybody would be scared. I thought we would laugh at that but I was wrong.
§2
Why he disappeared
Book 2 · Samadhis and the practice years, told as events Also: Mantra, tantra, ritual and powers
Q: Why did you disappear? Just to show him something?
Guruji: No, actually I was not mature enough then. And I thought that it would be funny and he would laugh and share the joke but in fact he was afraid. Then I realised that it is not a very healthy thing to do because he had no idea about yoga then.
