Walking in love is what Swami ji is to me. A love as pure as that of a child and as holy as that of a divine being. When I think of all the turmoil of worldly life, all that which blinds our eyes, deafens our ears and distracts our mind and then think of Swamiji then I at once see an oasis of peace and love. When I first met Swamiji we shared a normal exchange of thoughts and yet I could sense his subtle and vibrant aura. I could feel the radiance of a being who has surrendered to God completely. Swamiji often speaks about his immense gratitude towards "his God" as he puts it. Whenever I hear it I can feel his unconditional love for "his God" and this feeling has also been the source of a great teaching to me: It is when we really surrender to our God within, that our problems are solved, our illnesses healed and our hearts filled with divine love. Our God takes care of us in every way, leads us to the places where we are meant to be, introduces us to the right people, makes us move beyond our own limitations, makes us walk in love... I believe it is "his God's" compassion, love and wisdom that Swamiji constantly feels ever since he surrendered to Him. But I also believe that Swamiji was born a saint and therefore longed to be with his God. When Swamiji entered his cave he went in with utmost faith in his God and performed his sadhana with such pure devotion, that he could surrender and unfold his love naturally. I believe that when Swamiji received his God's eternal darshan everything in his life became a perfect image of his God's compassion, love and wisdom. Therefore all that Swamiji does is not just for himself, but for the sake of others, for the sake of his God. As the rays of the sun fall on the water and make it shine like precious gems, so also divine love shines on those who have surrendered to God. Then all our moves are walking in love....
