A story from his monastic years: a torn hip ligament, inner conflict about leaving the ashram, and a prayer to Divine Mother answered by a lightning-like bolt down the spine and the voiceless voice. Covers kundalini awakening as becoming aware of inner energy, Ishtas as windows for the divine, and testing higher-self guidance by its results.
