THE WAVE OF BLISS
I am grateful to know you dear Chitrabhanu, and I feel a reverence towards you for your increased light and understanding."
Mitra (Rev. Rob Garen) writes: “My meditations are real 'hummers'. I almost feel invisible sometime. Most importantly I want to be stress free so that I can pursue a simple spiritual life. The changes taking place in me, the insights, it goes beyond a letter of words. I love me and thank you for the part you have had in that".
Sujata observes, "Gurudev, you have really taught your students well! The base and foundation that you have given us all — has served us all in such good stead – to be able to develop creatively and make the teachings our own, each in our own way. And it has also enabled us to be very discriminating in discerning truth."
Here is a tribute to the Teacher from a disciple whose life has been changed for the better:
"Your life is the definition of love. Some events which I experienced due to your friendship, your teaching, and your very kind consideration of all are: a chance to observe a model first hand. Your spiritual education living in you, I saw you leave a half cup of water for mice to drink from in the open wall of a Jain hotel. At the Airport you held Rita's hand when she was falling apart (inside). She will always remember it. You prevented Pramoda and Ajit from stepping on a large insect in the dim hall way at the Sadhana building.
I saw you return to us exhausted from your work in 'flood relief' holding the hand of a small boy and carrying a suitcase in the other. You were vulnerable, and you told me the truth even when it must have been very bitter on your tongue.
