Passage 6

God is all-pervading and He is every-where, and so the that flows out of our mind will be very near to God.

Then he said to himself, “ I am able to find a very cool place; how fortunate will I be if I am able to get a glass of cool water also here?” Instantaneously, a tumbler of water came down. After he drank that water he thought, “Now I have quenched my thirst, but how happy will I be if there is a good bed here because this floor is hard and rough.” At once a big soft bed came down. He then thought, “Even in my house I do not possess such a bed and such a pillow. If my wife comes here and sees, how happy will she feel?” Immediately the wife also came. He saw her and he thought, “Is she my wife or is she a demon? Will she eat me?” No sooner had he said this when she ate him. The tree under the shade of which he sat was . is a tree that fulfils all desires. When the traveler sat under the , whatever good things he thought of, he got them instantly. But when he thought about bad things, bad things also came to him.
