Guru Challenges Your Microcosmic Bio-Memory

It's a very revolutionary technique which I saw with my other Guru Yogi Ramsuratkumar; a very revolutionary process. It's a little unconventional, untraditional.

I have seen he would always keep a bunch of rope with him. When somebody went to him for liberation and all that, he would completely tie them up with that rope! He would tie their legs, he would tie their hands, and he would make them sit, sometimes even 24 hours. He would make them sit. And these poor fellows would be sitting five-six hours, and the dedication would be there. You see, for five-six hours you think, "Oh this swami is making me do this"; that dedication would be there and you will sit with patience.

IHe would tie their hands and legs very tightly. They couldn't move. And after that he would put their hands on their legs and tie them there. And those fellows would be sitting.

But after ten hours, naturally the patience will wither away; completely the patience will wither away. Just imagine - ten hours your hands and legs are tied and you are made to sit, and you don't know when he is going to release you..!

See, if you know that in 24 hours he is going to release you, you will not have a problem. You don't know when he is going to release you, so within first five-six hours the dedication will be up. That part will be up. Everything is okay. But after ten hours what will happen? That is when the suffocation will start - and especially physical tying up is such a survival thing. Nobody can tolerate more than maximum ten hours; ten hours is the maximum. You can't tolerate more than that.

Especially the people who come to him for enlightenment are civilized people. They are not traditional trained criminals who are habituated to prison or handcuffs and all that. They are all civilized, cultured people. So ten hours was too much. Then that microcosmic bio-memory, the dedication which they carry in microcosmic biomemory, will be exhausted.
