The child was absorbed in meditation for 2 or 3 minutes. He then opened his eyes and said: "I would like to go with you on two conditions. If you accept them, I will come. If not, I won't.""What are they?”
"The first condition is that when I am asleep, you must guard me."
The king answered "I am guarded by other people; how can I guard you?"
"The second condition is that you must stay with me 24 hours a day."
"But I have to rule the kingdom. It is not possible for me to be with you all the 24 hours. Sorry, I cannot fulfill both your conditions."
"In that case, I cannot come and live with you in your palace. When I sleep, the Lord stays awake and guards me, and the Lord stays with me all 24 hours of the day. Why would I leave Him and come to live with you?"
One must analyse this story. From where did this answer emerge? When it is known that the king is interested in taking someone to his palace, anyone would leave everything and reach there promptly. The attraction of power and wealth would bring people from every corner of the world. Then how could a mere child give such an answer? From where could this answer have come? This answer emerged from the world beyond the senses. Neither any temptations of kingdom or wealth, nor the attraction of living in a royal palace could bind the child. Its only wish was to live in the kingdom within, his only aspiration being to live in the world beyond the senses.
The aim of Preksha Meditation is to develop the consciousness beyond the senses. Lots of people do not experience this world. They never come to know of it, and those who have experienced it can impossibly put the taste of this world in words.
