_Question:_ Guru, a lady had an experience where you made the sign of the cross on her forehead. You baptised and spoke to her daughter, then rose up. Was this a real experience from you?

Sri Chinmoy: One of my inner beings has given her this experience. You call it baptism. We call it, in our Indian way, initiation. This initiation is done in many ways. When it is done on the forehead it means that we bring the inner vision forward. We do not have to move around here and there in search of light. Light is inside us, but somebody has to bring it forward. For that we need a teacher. The forehead is the place where light abides. One of my inner beings inwardly has blessed them, since they have an inner cry to follow our path. It was all done in the inner worlds.
