May it be, Swamiji, that these places which have had the impress of the saint’s personality, his Tapasya and Siddhi, on
the very atmosphere, retain that sanctity for a long time?
Yes, yes. And not only that. The saint himself may live in those places. The liberated
sage has the option to merge in Brahman or to live in a subtle form and carry on the work of
Lokasangraha, guiding aspirants, awakening in people a religious fervour and so on. This motive
is manifested in some Jivanmuktas in accordance with God’s supreme will. Therefore, the place
in which the saint practiced Tapas and attained Siddhi, which might again be chosen by the
invisible spirit of the saint as its permanent abode, becomes the abode of the saint’s divine
qualities - peace, bliss and wisdom.
