Radhanath Swami and the Scanning

By admin on March 24, 2011 | Category: Purity | Tags: , , , | 201 Comments

Radhanath Swami’s room in the Radhagopinath Ashram, on that day, felt like the hollow of a scanning machine. What was scanned?—my mind, which had been for a while bristling with innumerable misconceptions—some related to philosophy and others to temple management. Who was the doctor?—Radhanath Swami, who diagnosed every wrong idea cooped in my skull and spelled out its folly.

How was all this happening? After all, these were the thoughts that bounced secretly—just between me and my mind.

“How did you know what thoughts I had been harboring?” I asked Radhanath Swami.

“By observing you. Simply through observation I understand many things. In fact, I learnt the basics of my spiritual life simply by observing the Ganges,” he replied.

The air of mystery about his last statement was somewhat cleared-off years later, when I read his autobiography, The Journey Home. There he speaks in some detail of the times he spent on a rock amid the River Ganges.

    Observation is such an important quality to cultivate. Simply by observation we can learn so many lessons from people and things around us. HH Radhanath Swami is an avid observer as confirmed above.

    i agree…i also have similar experiences which convinced me that Spiritual Master is beyond this body level..They can see through…i always feel: as a radiologist, i can scan the body, but He can scan through the mind and heart…His degree is ‘His purity’… .

    HH Radhanath Swami is beyond yogic powers since pure Devotees are transcendental & connected with Paramatma. Hence the Lord who is omniscient speaks through them.

    it is said ‘ most things are caught rather than taught’. in case of Radhanath Swami, because of the spiritual vision, this “catching” power is even more extra ordinary.
