SECRECY

Some days later when I was in Bombay I accompanied Vimalananda on an uneventful visit to Kalya, one of his old friends. Afterward I noticed that Vimalananda was quieter than usual, so after we reached home and he had tea I casually asked him, “Have you known that gentleman very long?”

He replied, “There are many restrictions to follow if you really want to perfect a mantra. One of the most important is that you must never tell anyone which mantra you repeat. When you tell someone else your mantra you allow them access to the Shakti you are trying to accumulate, which is tantamount to giving them a blank check and asking them to clean out your bank account. Anyone who needs to know your mantra will be able to find out without asking you; whoever cannot find it out without asking does not need to know.

‘’About twenty years ago Kalya wanted me to give him a mantra to repeat. He pleaded with me so long and so insistently that finally, against my better judgment, I gave in. Kalya was proud of his new acquisition, and when my Junior Guru Maharaj came to Bombay in 1959 and Kalya came to pay his respects, Guru Maharaj asked him what kind of sadhana he was doing. Kalya told him, ‘Vimalananda has given me a mantra which I am repeating regularly with great care.’

“Now, Guru Maharaj did not ask Kalya about his sadhana because he wanted to know about it. He already knew about it; finding out such things is child’s play for him. He asked because he wanted to know how solid Kalya’s dedication to sadhana had become. When Guru Maharaj learned that his dedication was not at all solid he decided to teach Kalya a lesson.”

“He knew it was not solid because Kalya was willing to speak about it, you mean?”

“That’s it; he knew the rules. Anyway, Guru Maharaj got wild and told Kalya, ‘Who does Babuji’—meaning me; he always calls me Babuji—‘who does Babuji think he is, God, that he is giving out mantras? Besides, he has not told you the entire mantra. He is trying to keep something from you; he has left out one syllable.’

“Kalya became alarmed; if the mantra was incomplete he might repeat it for many years and nothing would happen! So he said, ‘Oh, Maharaj, please take pity on me. Tell me the rest of it.’

“Guru Maharaj played his part well. At first he refused, but Kalya begged, pleaded and wheedled so sincerely that eventually Guru Maharaj took ‘pity’ on him and gave him the ‘additional syllable.’

“The result? Since 1959 Kalya has repeated that mantra faithfully every day for ten to twelve hours. Ten to twelve hours! He passed the ten million mark long back, and is probably near the twenty million mark now—but there has been no concrete result whatsoever. That extra syllable changed the entire phonetic effect of the mantra’s vibration. It didn’t belong there, of course; Guru Maharaj added it just to teach Kalya a lesson.
