“The illumination grew brighter and brighter, the roaring louder, I experienced a rocking
sensation and then felt myself slipping out of my body, entirely enveloped in a halo of light…
I felt the point of consciousness that was myself growing wider, surrounded by waves of light…
I was now all consciousness, without any outline, without any idea of a corporeal appendage, without any feeling or sensation coming from the senses, immersed in a sea of light simultaneously conscious and aware of every point, spread out, as it were, in all directions without any barrier or material obstruction…bathed in light and in a state of exaltation and happiness impossible to describe.” -Gopi Krishna
