Somebody in US after watching Swami Rama demonstrate said, \u201cYou are remarkable!\u201d  Swamiji turned and said to him, \u201cYou are insulting my work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how did he train himself? Let\u2019s hear it in his own words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I renounced and walked into the forest, people used to search for me, and I used to live in the jungles of Nainital, the mountains. I used to live on the top of the tree somewhere, tying myself with other branch. I lived in the jungles, sometimes hungry, sometimes before elephant and tigers, but the whole key was this, not to weaken myself. Because when you are prepared to live in the forest you will have to face all these problems. This is not one day, or two days problem. Likewise when you have chosen to live in a home, in a city with other people, then why do you not accept that problems will come every day from others? Remember to establish peace within by having attitude towards whole life.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 During those days my willpower was very strong. It\u2019s not so strong as it was there, because I was very sensitive towards the pain of others but not sensitive towards my own pain. Never! Never cared if something happened to my body. Nothing, get out. Come on, wash off. The moment I thought and it happened.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to examine the same power in the Menninger Foundation, Topeka, Kansas. Have I lost that and still I have that?  So the man who worked with me- he never believed in God or in any swami and all that\u2013 Doug Boyd. He worked for me whole night, stretching my suitcases, this and that, and that handle which he used gave blisters to his right palm. He said, \u201cLook swami, what have you done to me, so many blisters.\u201d I said, \u201cDo you believe in healing?\u201d He said, \u201cNo!\u201d \u201cDo you believe in God?\u201d He said, \u201cI don\u2019t care.\u201d I shook hands with him and they disappeared. That shook his whole life. Now I am not a big healer. I don\u2019t say I am a great healer. He did not cooperate with me, yet I did it. If I tried second time, perhaps I would fail. You can do many things when you are at your best. You can do many things when your willpower is one-pointed, when your willpower is not scattered, when your mind becomes one-pointed.<\/em>Last of mantra which I have received from my Master when I left for Europe in 1950\u2019s when I came first, I said, \u201cGive me something, last advice.\u201d He looked at me. He said, \u201cStill you need advice?\u201d I said, \u201cI will always need as long as you live.\u201d He said, \u201cHighest of all the attitude is this particular attitude, that no matter where you live, in any condition you live, what you call good and bad, try to be cheerful.\u201d Cheerfulness is one of the qualities that you create for yourself.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
