The proof that his heart was at peace was that it was filled with praise…not necessarily for what God had done, but for who God is.

A man obtains his God-the-Preceptor at the age of twelve years and four months. At the age of twenty four years and eight months he gets and sees Atma, God, in the seventh plane.
