I had practiced a kind of meditation before and I knew how difficult it was to get any peace, but there in that hall full of people I got a deep state of meditation so easily. At the moment when I got my Self Realization, all the questions I had melted in me and also all my doubts finished.

I immediately accepted what he said as Truth without even really thinking about it. It is very easy for children to do this because they don’t really have any ego to tell them to doubt things that they feel are right. Also since I was so young, I could feel the vibrations strongly as my chakras were still quite clean.
