Jesus told his acolytes that one sure
sign of identifying the true Comforter was to test His ability
to show His followers the events of the past and future after
baptizing them. Consider the following:
"Howbeit when he,
the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all
truth: for he shall not speak of himself: but whatsoever
he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will 'shew' you
things to come.” (John 16 :13) “He shall glorify
me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto
you.” (John 16 :14) "All things that the father
hath are mine : therefore said I, that he shall take of
mine and shall shew it unto you.”
But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Jo-el:
(Acts 2: 16 to 2:33) "And
it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will
pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and
your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall
see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.”
"And on my servants
and on my hand-maidens I will pour out in those days of
my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.”
“Therefore being
by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of
the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth
this, which ye now see and hear.”
Relevance: A number of people, who have been initiated
into Guru Siyag’s Siddha Yoga through Shaktipat
(initiation), testify that during meditation they have witnessed
events of the distant past and those that are to happen.
Some have gone on record to say that they could see their
own past lives. Says Guru Siyag, “Once you make sufficient
progress on the spiritual path through Siddha Yoga, you
will develop special powers which will enable you to take
a peek into distant past or future. You can see those events
as if you are watching them live on a television screen.”
Guru Siyag points out that ancient Hindu sage Patanjali,
who was the first sage to have codified the vast system
of Yoga, has clearly stated in his treatise “Yoga
Sutra” that it is possible for a spiritual seeker
to develop “Pratibh Gyan” (intuitive knowledge)
which enables to see deep into distant past or future. Nothing
remains hidden from his gaze; he can instantly visualize
at will even the most obscure object. As a matter of fact,
sage Patanjali goes further by saying that a spiritual seeker
or Yogi who has attained intuitive knowledge, can also experience
his five senses of perception grow to the ultimate perfection.
This helps the Yogi to experience the divine super sensuous
sound, touch, sight, taste and smell. For a Yogi who has
reached this stage, God is not a subject of mere imagination;
he can experience divinity through all the super developed
senses of perception – something that no ordinary
man can even begin to imagine.
