Hand of the ghost: a story from Lahiri Mahasaya's Life

Shyamcharan Lahiri Mahasaya

[A story of Lahiri Mahasaya told by Paramahansa Yogananda, published in his book 'The Divine Romance']

A man came to Lahiri Mahasaya, greatly troubled. "I keep seeing the hand of a ghost trying to choke me"


Lahiri Mahasaya said, "You are freightened by your own dream"

"But it is not a dream" the man said. "I see it"

Lahiri Mahasaya said, "Still, it is not real; everything is a dream"

The man believed the Guru's words, and was healed. So should you use your mind to change yourself, to heal yourself. Always affirm: "Nothing can hurt me. Nothing can ruffle me" 

realize that you are as good as the best man, as powerful as the strongest man. You must have more faith in yourself. If you make your mind strong, you will be rid of your nightmare.
