In telepathy the fine vibrations of thoughts in one person's mind
are transmitted through the subtle vibrations of astral ether and
then through the grosser earthly ether, creating electrical waves
which, in turn, translate themselves into thought waves in the mind
of the other person.
{FN28-2} Every soul in its pure state is omniscient. Kashi's soul
remembered all the characteristics of Kashi, the boy, and therefore
mimicked his hoarse voice in order to stir my recognition.
{FN28-3} Prokash Das is the present director of our Yogoda Math
(hermitage) at Dakshineswar in Bengal.
CHAPTER: 29
RABINDRANATH TAGORE AND I COMPARE SCHOOLS
"Rabindranath Tagore taught us to sing, as a natural form of
self-expression, like the birds."
Bhola Nath, a bright fourteen-year-old lad at my Ranchi school,
gave me this explanation after I had complimented him one morning
on his melodious outbursts. With or without provocation, the boy
poured forth a tuneful stream. He had previously attended the famous
Tagore school of "Santiniketan" (Haven of Peace) at Bolpur.
"The songs of Rabindranath have been on my lips since early youth,"
I told my companion. "All Bengal, even the unlettered peasants,
delights in his lofty verse."
Bhola and I sang together a few refrains from Tagore, who has set
to music thousands of Indian poems, some original and others of
hoary antiquity.
"I met Rabindranath soon after he had received the Nobel Prize
for literature," I remarked after our vocalizing.
