Then not visually but inner visually Krishna meta morphed into Lord Sri Aurobindo, and his flute sounded like a river of Peace flowing. This kept happening and I went into this state of distance and Time lost its meaning I don’t know for how long or what but….it felt like my heart transcended into a space of its own, the world became a distant problem and I just floated and totally fell in Love. Or ascended in Love I should say.
For the first time I felt almost an admiration almost drawn, I felt a Beautiful intimacy almost but not in a frivolous way it’s hard to word. I felt so charmed, and a need to self give, and all the wishes to dance with Him in fields of Vrindaavan, to be embraced, to sit in solitude with only Him, to just admire Him and lean on His shoulder and share all. To just sit afront Him and sway to His flute. I don’t know much about Krishna at all, just what I’ve heard from children’s stories as a child and from your talks. But He’s so ok with just being in solitude, loves all around him, playful, courageous, intelligent, loyal, eternally Loving but I don’t see Him as any different now to Sri Aurobindo. When I think of one I feel the other and vice versa. It’s soooo beautiful and honestly I’ve never felt this much Love for anybody or anything in my life.
Didn’t feel like “God” instead, for the first time, an Intimate Lover, Friend…I felt a Cosmic Charm and almost romance. A Divine safety, and comfort and need for nothing except Him.
Could you shine some light on this experience…I do wonder if this is strange…and how to cultivate it further ?
As you might be knowing if one reads Sri Aurobindo’s life and experiences, Sri Krishna and Sri Aurobindo are one. Sri Krishna is the Ananda, the Delight that is the cause and the goal of Creation that has emerged from the Home of Truth. Sri Aurobindo is the Truth that sets the soul free and brings the full play of the delight into Creation. When Sri Aurobindo wants to give us the joy of friendship with the Divine then he shows himself as Sri Krishna. The flute is the call of the Divine to the soul. You heard the call and had a foretaste of the bliss that awaits those who seek Him through bhakti, love and service.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
