1. Why is Faqir Chand's experiences important in understanding the projective nature of religious visions and miracles? . Faqir said that all gurus of whatever stripes were ignorant about the real cause of miracles and the visions attributed with them. . He also admitted that he himself was ignorant. But his life experiences help us understand that it is nothing further than the consciousness of the mind. In the book “ The unknowing sage” He states that “No Rama, no Krishna, no Buddha, and no Baba Faqir comes from without any body. The visions are only because of the impressions and suggestions that a disciple has already accepted in his mind.” This is likely based on Faqir Chand’s experience of being a disciple himself. From his experiences he also says that he understood the mind of a man who undertakes practice does not become impregnable to the old samskaras “ He means that all this is nothing but a bud in the subconscious mind.
