I am at loss of words after my brief rendezvous with my Spiritual Father.
He who could patiently wait for an hour in his two-wheeler on the road for the row of ants to clear the way with an exclamation, ‘It is life for the ants’, he who could respect the sentiments of a car, he who could send love and energies to ailing trees, he who could treat everyone as special, he who is dazzling with divine light, he who is an embodiment of simplicity, humility and truth yet appearing and talking as an ordinary being, he who touches every soul that comes to him, he who doesn’t quote scriptures, he who has broken all traditional norms of ritualistic, fanatic and maddening religious exercises and teaches the art of enjoying silence, he who urges everyone to celebrate life, he who reads poetry, enjoys music, loves nature ………… I have found him through the books as a man who sees consciousness in every atom of the universe, and beyond.
In person, I am bowled over by his soft expressions, genuine smile, truthful words, patient hearing, and most importantly his divine love. The divine vibrations that he has rubbed on me are unbelievable and I am still unable to believe that I have come face to face with such a Master. Yes, he has touched my core being so deeply.
Today, on this auspicious Krishna Janmashtami Day, I wonder if Krishna would be pleased if I continue to write here with my borrowed intellectual knowledge or first learn to live silently all that my Guru has spoken out of his experiences and then write.

Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou are as usual lucky to have the opportunity to meet the Guru in person.
ReplyDeleteOn your doubt about writing or silence: I remember that someone said, in music, the silence between two sounds makes the music and not the sounds. So, both are required, silence and sound. You are gifted with talents of writing. So, I feel that you have to continue writing at the same time practice your silence. Both can go together as musical note. In fact, writing is one of your Sadhanas.
@Solai - You may be right. But at present, I don't feel like writing.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to k now that you have met such a wonderful Guru in this lifetime. You are blessed!
ReplyDelete@Latha - It's the beginning of a new phase in my life. Billions of light years to travel still.
