Master's Ecstasy ( Eager to explore of the alien religions)

ISLAM

Towards the end of 1866 he began to practice the disciplines of Islam. Under the direction of his Musalman teacher he abandoned himself to his new sadhana(pactice). He dressed as a Musalman and repeated the name of Allah.His prayers took the form of the Islamic devotions. He forgot the Hindu gods and goddesses---and gave up visiting the temples. He took up his residence outside the temple precincts. After these days he saw the vision of a radiant figure, perhaps Mohammed. this figure gently approached him and finally lost himself in him. Thus he realized the Mussalman God. Thence he passed into communication with absolute "Brahama". The mighty river of Islam also led him  of the Absolute.
