Q:   Once we are physically initiated, you can have Swamiji’s darshan any time by using the vibhuti and meditating?

Q:   So the whole idea of Swamiji guiding us without us even talking to him because he is not here, the inner guidance.  Is that with all yogis, that’s a power of yogis?

SBY:   He says yes, they do come in their astral bodies and they help you.  They guide you.  All the yogis do that.  When he says the astral body, what he means is the minute [i.e. small] body.

Q:   We hear the minute body to be the super causal or the soul body.  Other terminology.

Interpreter:   What he says is sukshma is minute.  So he calls it the sukshma sharira.  It is the minute body.

Q:   When you are over in India, and we’re over here, and you’re there on the other side of the world, when you talk about that your darshan will be with us, do you actually live inside us?  Like when he’s living over in India, is he living inside us?

SBY:   Just like airplane flying from India to America, just like astral body or something, just like airplane flying from India to America.  Just like that.  He flies from there to you heart, or _____ [inaudible] {will be in front of you}.

Q:   So is he there all the time or just when we . . .

SBY:   [without waiting for translation]  Whenever you people pray for Swamiji, he just comes to you and holds you in his arms.  [Or for whomever you pray, they come to you, solve your problems, and then leave.]
