(From Book #173, “One Dream, One World”)

In my samadhi, I travelled to the hell realm.

In the hell realm, I saw every kind of suffering and adversity, which cannot be listed completely. It is a fact that the suffering of illness in the human world is the ultimate suffering. Yet the suffering in the hell realm is countless times greater.

I saw:

Two great mountains, so close together that there was only a thread of sky between them, the narrow space more like a seam.

There was a prisoner in the seam.

The great mountains moved toward each other, clipping the prisoner between them, crushing him. This was accompanied by intensely chilling, bloodcurdling screams. The prisoner was crushed to death, becoming meat paste. It was too ghastly to look at.

Soon, the double mountains moved apart and with a surprised gasp, the prisoner returned to life. But then the double mountains replayed the same scene again. Like this, the prisoner returned to life, then died again, returned to life, died, returned to life, died. This repeated itself I don’t know how many times.

The sound of the mournful, shrill cries was relentless in my ears. My heart was dripping tears. I really could not listen to this anymore. When I covered my face and was going to leave, surprisingly the prisoner recognized me and called out to me, “Guru! Please save me!”

I replied, “For your case, I don’t have the supernatural power to save you. What kind of work were you doing before your death? What caused this effect that you are being clipped between the double mountains and being crushed to death?”

The prisoner replied, “I was a gynecologist. I performed too many abortions, merely for money’s sake. I took too many babies’ lives.”
