 <\/p>\n

Imagine that you become suddenly unaware of your body and totally oblivious of your mind.<\/p>\n

But you are experiencing something new\u2014a deep and complete joy.<\/p>\n

Impossible? Very possible and doable according to Dr. Pillai and many other mystics. Swami Ramalingam, a Tamil saint and a previous incarnation of Dr. Pillai, was aware of this state since he was just a tiny 5-month-old baby.<\/p>\n

“No sooner the light was perceived, happiness prevailed in me. I tasted the sweet nectar as soon as Arut Perum Jothi<\/em> (or supreme grace from divine light) became visible to me,\u201d he said of this deeply blissful state.<\/p>\n

Dr. Pillai explains how everyone can experience this light and be filled with supreme joy\u2014of a kind that is superior to anything you\u2019ve ever experienced before.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a lot of literature on the ascension of enlightened Masters in different traditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Ramalingam\u2019s case is the only documented example.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a man who had a physical, human body yet turned it into light.<\/p>\n

Power of Compassion<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve talked before about his compassion as a main modality for turning the body into Light.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, it was his compassion towards human beings, animals and plants as well [which led to his ascension].<\/p>\n

\u201cRamalingam was such a genius: he put all of these things in a few words\u2014maya<\/em>, this illusion, the mind which perceives the illusion. He says: \u2018You cannot stop your mind, you cannot stop the maya.\u2019<\/p>\n

Maya and Mind According to Ramalingam and Einstein<\/span>\"Middle-Joy-Is-Your-Birthright-blog\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHe also gave us a definition of maya and mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cMind is just a pulsation that takes place within our consciousness. When it originates it creates the mind\u2014the perceiving mind that becomes more active and uncontrollable. Then it becomes maya.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn order to perceive the illusion or goal, you need a mind, which is the initial activity that takes place within consciousness.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe second thing you need is to stop when the activity in the mind begins and becomes uncontrollable as maya (the accelerated mind). And who can stop it?<\/p>\n

\u2018Only God can stop the mind and the appearance of maya,\u2019 sang Ramaligam.<\/p>\n

\u201cEinstein said that, too, that he could accept that what you are seeing outside is just an illusion. He put it in a very beautiful way: \u2018But this is a persistent illusion. No matter what I do, I cannot escape seeing this. The day when you are able to see only emptiness, then you are seeing the reality.\u2019<\/p>\n

Overwhelming Joy<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI had this experience in Canada, during a medical procedure: the anesthesiologist said that he was going to sedate me and that I would go to sleep.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I didn\u2019t go to sleep. Was I aware of the body? No, I was not aware of the body. Was I aware of the mind? No, I wasn\u2019t aware of the mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I was aware of something that was very profound, and that was incredible joy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIncredible joy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI can even get into that same state of incredible joy just by thinking about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will talk more about this and how to experience this joy in my upcoming webinar on January 23<\/u><\/a> about the ascension day of Swami Ramalingam. God bless.\u201d<\/p>\n
