Then Baba spoke further about meditation:
The path and process shown to you are very rational and logical.
Understand them properly and then practice the accordingly. Sadhana is a must for human existence, but test and question why you must do it.
If you understand the rationale and logic properly, you will enjoy it, as well as being otivated to practice it
As I was descending the stairs the thought came to my mind, “Baba has told me just to think whether I can give up non-vegetarian good. If it can be given up just by thinking then I’ll start thinking right now that I will no longer take any non-vegetarian good.”
And it is Baba’s grace that from that day onwards I have been a vegetarian.
I had no strength of will to achieve this change. Was it not purely due to Baba’s grace?
BABA’S PRESCRIPTION CURES ME
After my return to Bhagalpur I neglected the instruction regarding drinking hot water because:
- I did not like drinking hot water
- It is the treatment elderly people give sick children.
I thought that Baba, being my elder, was treating me like a child. So I did not take the advice seriously.
I continued to take the medicines prescribed by the doctors and my condition also continued to deteriorate.
Finally the pain increased so much that I had to take to bed.
I had difficulty even in breathing and it became almost impossible to sit and walk without some support.
The doctors were bewildered and did not know what to do. Their combined opinion was to send me to Patna, the state capital, for treatment.
It was nearly 2 weeks since I had taken initiation.
Chandranathji visited me and asked me what I had done to myself. He had wanted to take me to Baba’s regular Sunday pravarchan or discourse, but I was to ill to go.
He angrily accosted me, “Are you mad? Baba asked you to take hot water and you are still taking all these medicines prescribed by the doctors”.
He ordered all the medicine to be thrown away in his presence.
He then asked my wife and domestic assistant to give me hot water to drink and instructed that as long as I did not recover fully, whenever I felt like drinking water, only hot water should be given to me.
“Hot water alone is his medicine”, he declared.
He explained that when he had reached Baba, Baba enquired, “How is my Nagina?”
After Chandranathji mentioned my sickly condition, Baba said:
“Why inform me about it? I had asked him to take hot water, but he has faith in the doctor’s pills and injections. What is to be done?”
After our talk, Chandranathji performed his evening meditation and despite my feverish condition he made me sit along with him.
At dinner-time I had to take hot water and again at bedtime and he instructed my wife that although he would leave early the next morning, I should continue to take hot water as long as my pain persisted.
This hot water treatment had a miraculous effect on me. When I woke up I realised that I had changed sides without pain.
I got up and felt a little pain at that time and when I stood up and started walking and realised that 80% of my pain had disappeared.
This increased my faith and enthusiasm both and all the daylong I drank lot of hot water whether I felt thirsty or not.
My wonder knew no bounds when next day I found that there was no trace of pain at all. By now I had realised the miracle of Baba’s blessings and instructions at every step.
Again and again I thank Chandranathji.
