Savitri’s Soul

Many of you know the story about Savitri’s soul. Once during a very short race in Flushing Meadows Park, she was not even running, she was walking, and she fell down and fainted. O God, it was so serious. They wanted to take her to the hospital immediately. I believe in the existence of the soul. Alas, her soul left the body. There was a nearby tree, and I saw that the soul had not completely disappeared, and it was on the topmost branch. I think I have a little more power than her soul. Then I compelled the soul to enter back into the body.

She was 20 metres away from me when she fell, and then the soul was ready to go. Luckily, it was a very short time, and the soul did not fly away. It was there watching from the topmost branch of the tree, and it came back into the body. She lived for many, many years afterwards.

I used to run by that particular tree, where her soul had been, when I ran in Flushing Meadows Park. I used to run around and around the course. Each time I would pass by, although Savitri’s soul was inside her body, I used to see her soul when I was coming near the tree. When I was nearing the place, 5 metres or 10 metres away, immediately I would see her soul there.

If the soul leaves the body, it can remain for 11 hours outside the body. After that, if the soul does not come back, what can you do? Most spiritual Masters will agree that the maximum is 11 hours.

After 11 hours the soul cannot come back. In one second the soul can go to the Himalayas or some other place; that is the speed of the soul. In a second, farther than the farthest the soul can go. I used to go out running two or three times a week in the afternoon. I would run by that tree and see the soul. These stories give me joy. See how far, how fast my imagination can fly. I get tremendous joy from my imagination.
