कुठेतरी वाचताना 'सुक्ष्मदेहाने मंगळ आणि गुरुची सफर केलेला अवलिया' अशी वर्तकांची ख्याती नजरेत आली आणि कुतूहल चाळवले. ताबडतोब हा ग्रंथ विकत घेऊन वाचनाला सुरवात केली आणि एक अलौकिक अनुभूती आली. ब्रम्हर्षीची स्मरणयात्रा हा एक अचाट असा प्रवास आहे. प वि वर्तकांचे आयुष्य म्हणजे जणू एक परीकथा आहे. त्यांनी ध्यानमार्गाने अनेक सिद्धी प्राप्त केल्या, चमत्कार केले. अद्भुत प्रसिद्धी मिळवली आणि खडतर भोगही भोगले. अध्यात्माचे वैज्ञानिक संशोधन हे त्यांच्या आयुष्याचे ध्येय होते. या पुस्तकात त्यांनी त्यांचे अनुभव नमूद केलेले आहेत जे काहीसे मनोरंजक, काहीसे आश्चर्यकारक आणि काहीसे गूढदेखील आहेत. प्रत्येक प्रसंगाचे वैज्ञानिक निरूपण वर्तकांनी केले असल्यामुळे त्यांची विश्वासार्हता वाढते. या ग्रंथाचे कुठलेही पान उघडून वाचा; काहीतरी नवीन आणि अद्भूत वाचल्याचे समाधान मिळते. अनेक प्रसंगात वर्तक कठोरपणे वागले आहेत. मात्र यामुळेच त्यांचे देवतुल्य व्यक्तिमत्व जाणवते. ही स्मरणयात्रा कधीच संपू नये असे वाटते. मात्र वाचून संपली तरी अनंत काळासाठी ती स्मरणात राहणार यात कुठलीही शंका नाही. जय श्री गुरुदेव दत्त !
