Ma would tell us about Jap. Today I will talk about that. In a day Ma said that one should do 21,600 Jap!! I know it sounds very difficult but it really is not. One can begin with 3 malas a day and gradually increase. Ma said that in a day we breathe in and out ie. inhale and exhale 21,600 times and so one has to reach that figure and then it is considered to be Jap that covers every breath. Once you catch this momentum, lots of experiences begin. You can get,out of bodyexperiences too. This had happened with me. I was in my Temple on my asan doing my Jap. I always had the habit of playing some bhajan or kirtan and then sitting for my puja. This would disconnect me with the outside world. Each one has to find their own way. The music was playing - I was with the mala ( rosary ) in my hand and was very deeply concentrated in Jap, when I suddenly felt a very light feeling as if I had no weight and then I saw myself sitting on the asan and doing Jap! That is when I realised that I was outside my body! The music also sounded very sharp ie. the notes had so much clarity and precision. Then I saw myself on a different dimension where the sun was in the horizon and the golden colour of the sun had a brilliance about it that one cannot even see on our colour palate on this plane where we are!! I remained this way seeing myself doing Jap and then I dont know how and when I came back into the body. As soon as I was back, I noticed that my heart beats were racing! Next when I met Pujya Swami Bhaskaranandaji, I narrated this incident to him. He said very casually Yes, this happens- did you see a golden brilliance? I said Yes. He said Yes, yes that is Gyan ( knowledge). But next time when you go out of body remember not to enter your body with a thud!!! Enter gently, then you will not palpitate!! I looked at him and said Sure!! ( As if I knew how to come back!! Haha!!) So see the importance of Jap like Ma said to us. Whatever we do it has to be done with complete sincerity and the result would definitely be there in front of us to see!! Jai Ma.
