Sadhana on the Physical Level
Last night during my meditation I saw a cat – probably one of the Mother’s cats, the one which sleeps on the staircase – come and enter the room where I was meditating. But I at once opened my eyes. Would you very kindly let me know the meaning of this cat and why I opened my eyes.
If it is the cat Bushy, she has some strange connection with the siddhi in the physical consciousness. It was she who ushered us into our present house running before us into each room. The change to this house marked the change from the sadhana on the vital to the sadhana on the physical level.1
