When a seeker begins to make progress on the path of spiritual practice, God grants the seeker certain experiences. With the support of such experiences, the seeker begins to proceed with increased enthusiasm on the path of spiritual practice. An anubhuti (spiritual experience) is beyond the mind and intellect, experienced by our embodied soul through the medium of subtle senses. It is difficult to analyse it at the level of mind and intellect. But our faith gets enhanced through such anubhutis. Anubhutis can be in the context of both, material level and spiritual level. For instance, if someone’s faith gets enhanced through worldly benefits, that person receives similar experiences. Anubhutis are, in a way, milestones in our spiritual journey that provide momentum and guidance. By listening to, or reading the anubhuti of other seekers, our belief process strengthens. And if we too get such experiences, we begin to comprehend that a particular incident was in reality, an anubhuti. -Tanuja Thakur
