________________ FIVE GREAT HEALERS SPEAK HERE he is not in India, we were able to attend many of his seminars and informal gatherings. Muni's face and eyes are alight with kindness, inspiration and the bravery of original thought, for Muni is a philosopher as well as a healer of the body and spirit. We stretched our minds to absorb his vivid words and his way of describing the inner spiritual journey by relating small fables that sink into the subconscious and rise from time to time to nudge the conscious mind. Sprinkled here and there in his talks are original suggestions. For example, he recommends placing oneself a little to one side of one's body in thought and saying to it as to a friend, "How are you?" If the mind wanders when one is trying to meditate, he suggests asking of it, "Where have you been?" When being taught spiritual illumination by an inspired teacher, Muni advises that we mentally reach out a hand toward that light and say simply, "Let me have it." Clearly Muni is unique. He warns us against living for pleasure. "Those who live mainly for pleasure die quite soon, if not physically, then their portion of wisdom expires. This is because they are consumers of energy. But those who give energy receive it." While attending one of his informal sessions, someone asked Muni if he had any hobbies. "Of course," said Muni. "I am a collector. Where other people collect stamps or objects of art, I collect blessings. Other collections remain here but my hoard of blessings can be transformed into pure energy and I can take it with me when I go. When you help someone and that person speaks from the heart, 'God bless, live long,' that is a collectable blessing." Munishree Chitrabhanu is an unfailing beacon to all who come within his force field. His warmth and wisdom have gained him the love of people from all walks of life. He is an ambassador of harmony as he affirms the oneness of all life.
