the 6th lesson

sometime 1990


When I got the 6th lesson, there were three experiences surrounding it.


In the first one, I was dreaming that I was in India and that there was a huge DMC taking place, maybe in Ananda Nagar. I could not see Baba (there were so many people in front and around me) but somehow I could hear His voice. He was singing Sam’gacchadvam’ and was just about to finish. After He finished singing, He gave the Varabhaya mudra. I could not see it but I saw that the whole place was filled with light and there was a tremendous energy around. Thereafter, I woke up.


A few days later, I dreamt that I was at home cleaning up my room. One Dada, Dada Acalananda, was helping me. Suddenly, he came to me seemingly a bit annoyed, and told me: “Take your Baba photo. Don’t let it lie around anywhere just like this.” I was a bit embarrassed and said: “Yes, sorry Dada” and took the photo. Then he went away to continue help me clean the room. But after a short while he came back again, once more annoyed, and said: “Take your Baba photo. Don’t let it lie around anywhere just like this.” I felt again a bit embarrassed and without understanding why this was happening, I said: “Yes, sorry Dada” and took the photo. It continued like this for a few more times. The photo that Dada gave me was always the sixth lesson photo, showing Baba performing the Varabhaya Mudra.


So I asked Dada Rainjiitananda, who I felt close to, if he could give me the sixth lesson. After a walk in the park, where we encountered some peacocks, he agreed.


I got the sixth lesson sometime later in Madhu Karuna at the end of the summer conference. I felt that it was the most beautiful lesson of all. 


The next day I returned to my family’s place. I arrived late in the night and everybody was sleeping while the doors of the house were locked. I didn’t want to disturb too much and decided to sleep in the car. However, I could not fall asleep until perhaps just before five in the morning.


I dreamt that I was sitting in some kind of DC room with other margii devotees. Then, suddenly it was announced that Baba would be coming. It happened very quickly and everyone became much emotionalised. Baba sat down at the front and gave the Varabhaya Mudra. It was tremendously strong and emanated from Him in series of waves. 


The first row was affected, then the second, then the third etc. Just before my row’s turn came, the person in front of me had been hit so hard that he had fallen down backwards upon me, and when the vibration of the Mudra finally reached me, I was also thrown back a few meters (even though I was already lying on the floor with the other brother somehow upon me). It was as though some kind of lightning energy had just struck me. 


Later, still in dream, I was in another place in the city. I was going around intoxicated with bliss and shouting at whoever came my way: “You! You! You! Do something for the suffering humanity! Do something for the suffering humanity! You! You! You! Do something!”
