Me, My Guru






…contd……

“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!
