Achal Samadhi
Baba was always in the state of supreme soul consciousness (paramhansa avastha). He gave brief experiences of achal samadhi (a static state in which consciousness transcends the body) to some people, including Kishan Chandra Tewari, Nandaballabh Joshi, and Gurudatt Sharma.
After putting Gurudatt Sharma into such a state at Church Lane, Baba turned to a doctor who had just arrived and asked, "See, what has happened to him?" The doctor was puzzled and confused because Sharma ji did not have an obvious pulse and did not seem to be breathing. Baba told some other devotees to carry the completely inert Gurudatt Sharma into another room. After some time Baba went into the room and touched him. Sharma ji then regained consciousness.
On another occasion Baba put Sharma ji into samadhi in Major Rikhi's house in Delhi. Someone doubted his state of unawareness and decided to test it by cutting his foot with a razor blade. Blood flowed onto the floor, but Sharma ji was completely unaware of it. When Major Rikhi saw what was happening, he cleaned and bandaged the cut. It was not until Sharma ji regained consciousness that he noticed his bandaged foot.
