Many a time yoga students are deluded by pseudo experiences. They are seen speaking about the experiences of hearing somebody speaking, seeing lights, viewing various deities in visions, experiencing smells, increase of their ability to read others’ mind, development of their ability to prediction, development in his business, increase of his mental abilities etc. These may or may not be true. But these are not of any use for self-realization and liberation.
No pseudo experiences of vision sounds etc. can’t help the practitioner at the time of his final exit from the body (death). If he has the true experience, that alone can save him at that moment. If he has really attained God or at least tasted Him by invoking true experience, his final exit from the body will be very smooth and hence, he need not have to come again to this world to work out his karma.
Real Experiences that take one to God
The bridge between body-bound soul and its Creator-God is the Cosmic Sound which is described in scriptures of India as Aum, in Christianity as Holy Ghost. To ascend into the realm of God or Cosmic Consciousness, the student of yoga (sadhaka) has to take refuge at the feet of Divine Mother, Aum. It means he or she has to meditate upon Aum sound. So, the experience of Aum in meditation is the real experience that takes the yogi to God. One who meditates God as Aum Sound gradually finds Him manifested as Divine Light, Wisdom, Love, Bliss, Consciousness, etc. But, the base of all is the experience of Aum sound and meditating upon it.
With reverence and devotion, the sadhaka has to take the experience of Aum and meditates upon it. This alone is the true experience that takes one to supreme realization.
