Background
A description of the experience
Gopi Krishna – Kundalini the evolutionary energy in man
The development of a super-sensory channel of knowledge for the perception of subtle realities beyond the reach of senses and reason, is not intended to supplant, but rather to aid the rational facility in the management of temporal affairs rigidly ruled by temporal laws.
The psychic and even physical powers possessed by prophets and seers are merely in the nature of a manifestation, an emblem of sovereignty bestowed by nature.
In the circumstance, the application of the extremely rare spiritual endowments to the solution of the day to day problems of man’s physical existence, for which intellect is the proper instrument, would be no less irrational than the utilisation of the quality of heaviness in gold for the purpose of crushing stones wih it to provide material for roads.
The curative and other powers sometimes exercised by mystics and saints never went beyond the sphere of individual application, and it was left for men of genius who brought vision to the aid of intellect to devise universally efficacious remedies for scourges like smallpox, and to make other discoveries in the physical realm, a task which was neither accomplished by nor fell in the province of prophets and visionaries.
