I had read the Ishavaasyopanishad Mantra-(s)
“tad-ejati tannaijati tad-doore tadvantike tadanatrasaya
sarvasya tadu sarvasyaasya baahyatha:”
[“It moves It moves Not It Is far It is near It is inside all Yet It is outside all too.”]
and
“tad daavathonyaan atyethi tishtaththasminnapo maatharishva dhathaati !”
[“It outstrips all that runs by merely standing By Its command the divine becoming is ever supported !”]
I had enough awareness growing in me to understand Brahman as an All Pervasive entity near and far inside and outside all. I could literally perceive it everywhere all over.
But the second mantram flabbergasted me ! I could not possibly even imagine it.
I had kept this in my mind for many years and sometime in the early 1990s
I had this remarkable dream.
I was in a saffron meta space where clad in white I was floating(flying) , in Brahman with three or four [ I think four ] sages in saffron robes. Time and space did not exist there so to say. It was an immortal Loka (Cosmos) of Paramahamsa-s.
We were just floating together when suddenly one of them told me,
‘Naaraayana Why don’t you show us “tad daavathonyaan atyethi tishtath ?”’
I agreed and asked them to float(fly) on, in the Infinite saffron space without seams.
I stopped and let them fly far far away. I had not moved from my position. Then suddenly I outrun them and I am ahead of them although I have still not moved from my position! ~ Then we all laugh !!
Thus I had my divine identity I became IT, The Brahman !
daavathonyaan athyaamyaham sadaa tishtan
I outstrip all that runs always merely standing
Om Namo Naaraayanaaya ~
