“And who says we didn’t receive? We received ‘her presence’
through the very air she breathed! We received the joy of doing ‘little
nothings’ like scrubbing, cleaning etc for her. We received ‘her presence’ and
‘lost ours’ here. Couldn’t you see how happy we were? How peaceful we all were?
That was not us but ‘her presence’ that moved through us. Ramana Maharshi was once asked “What’s the
benefit of having a Guru who doesn’t even talk?” since Ramana Maharshi would
hardly talk, this question was asked by one of the persons who had come for his
darshan. Ramana just smiled and replied “Just having your Guru in physical form
and be able to see him so is the biggest boon that you get for having a Guru in
physical form – though he is silent”. Our
Guru said this once in some context. And we experienced that joy everytime we
come here. And it’s only increased year after year! We can’t explain our
experience. We can’t word it! our words fail us whenever we have wanted to
express our experience of our stay here” completed Viplav a bit emotionally as
they both boarded the taxi to airport.
I was left stunned. These kids experienced what it takes
years of practice for any other mortal. They have emptied their egos
completely. They were tuned to ‘the presence’ of ‘just being’ and hence they
all were in tune with each other and so were with our Guru. In their innocence they
scaled heights in this spiritual journey. No doubt, they were so cheerful. They
didn’t have to exchange words. They were in sync with each others' presence and
all seemed so normal and simple! The profundity of the entire episode hit me
like a tsunami. It completely wiped away my senses and I felt weak with my
understanding. I collapsed to the ground.
They had chosen the simple path of healing themselves. They
just tuned to ‘her presence’ and the rest happened on its own. No doubt they
didn’t want anything else. What else was there to get? We could only read about
it and they were living it so casually. And they didn’t even make a huge cry of
it. God!
