Week 6: Inner Visions and Running Trains (post 1)

"Who knows what may happen to me at the time of death? I may enter the state of unconsciousness, enter the state of dreams and see railway trains. . . How can I make a claim about my attainment of the Ultimate? The truth is that I know nothing." --Baba Faqir Chand. In this film he explains to us how during his 1919 Iraq base fight, they had been fighting when he was informed that they were low on ammunition and everyone was scared for there lives. "In this very moment of fear the Holy Form of Hazur Data Dayal Ji appeared before me and said, "Faqir,worry not, the enemy has not come to attack but to take away their dead. Let them do that. Don't waste your ammunition."

Faquir told Subedar Major about his appearance of this Guru. "The rebel Jawans came and carried away their dead without attacking our positions. By six o'clockin the morning our airplanes came and they dropped the necessary supplies. Our fears vanished. We gained courage. We were safe." Faquir was worshiped by his people and soldiers when he returned home, because he saved there liefs and kept them safe away from harms way. He later doubted if this apparition was really a Guru who appeared to him, or was it really his imagination talking to him. He believed that it was projections of his own mind.
