I was given a similar experience with the sea.... In the house where I distribute "prosperity"[[ Library House, where Sri Aurobindo and Mother lived for several years (from 1922 to February 1927). ]] there's a veranda with a little nook, and set in the nook is a window (not a window, actually - an opening), and through the opening you can glimpse a patch of sea, no bigger than this (gesture). And at that time too the body was feeling closed in, a little weary and confined. I used to give meditations to about twenty people on the veranda (afterwards I would always tell Sri Aurobindo what had gone on). And one day, as I am walking across the veranda to give the meditation, I turn my eye and ... I see the sea. And suddenly it was all oceanic immensity - and with a sense of free sailing, from one place to another.... The sea breeze, the taste of the sea, and the sense of immensity, vastness, freedom ... something limitless. It lasted a quarter of an hour, twenty minutes. My body came out of it refreshed, as if I had gone for a long sail. I want to emphasize that the effect is PHYSICAL: the experience is concrete and has a physical effect. That's what I would like to give you. Mother's Agenda , volume - 3 , 1963 , page 173 , May 29 .
