Many BKs report this same better experience in private meditation than in front of ”BapDada”.
What does that say about the experience in meditation and how it can be explained in different ways?
That is true. There were many who infact complained of 'no experience' in front of BapDada and had some experiences at other places. Different for different persons and may be related to your expectations, previous efforts, situations that one faces in a life and other factors which may be no one still knows. What I said about purity was what BKs usually refer to and in short that was usually about being vice-less, be it thoughts and/or actions.
I agree with PP that pure thought is just a thought and may be pure action is also similar, that is focused for toward a goal and with complete determination without any guilt or perhaps pride too built in. In Indian history, even some hard core dacoits completely turned into great spiritual persons, possibly because their earlier thoughts and action were pure regardless of being good or bad. Anyway that may be a different discussion.
I was once very surprised when visited by couple of BKs for two days and I asked a Senior Sister to sleep in a room where another BK Brother was also sleeping (ofcourse in different beds) in the night, but she completely refused and told its against Maryadas. We had to offer our whole bed room to her and we all were on floor in living room. No grudges for that but what is this Maryadas which is never tested? Saints are tested in bazaars (especially in brothels) but your Maryadas are good for nothing if they can not stand any test and tend to avoid any. Me and my wife used to sleep together when we were BKs (we never told senior BKs as we knew they won't understand our point). There were tempting times, for sure, but we were determined to follow celibacy. However, does all these Maryadas slowly purify your thoughts or create all sort of chaos in your mind, making a hell of your life? What I saw there were many BKs who were completely lost fighting their own natural desires, fighting relations because of their partners or family being non-BKs and it was easy to see how unhappy they were.
PP, what do you think of this phenomenon of wow experience in front of BapDada or anywhere else? Does it ooz out of oneself and is a consequence of peaceful state of mind or what?
