One Glimpse Of Consciousness

If we achieve one glimpse, it's over. That one glimpse acts like a conscious torch, and guides us through these seven layers when we leave the body. We will walk beautifully; we will slide through all seven layers. The enlightened Master's initiation is the torch of consciousness that guides us through this path, through our living and leaving.

Vivekananda says, 'If you achieve even a single glimpse, you leave your body in that experience.' It is because this intense experience of Self-realization will come up at the time when we leave the body. At the time of death, our whole life is played back to us in a fastforward mode in a few seconds. And only the important scenes appear in multicolor again and again; all other scenes appear in black and white.
