Guest guest Posted February 8, 2001 Report Share Posted February 8, 2001 Amanda, thanks for the friendly welcome! Your words remind me of a story I read somewhere. It was about Bayazir, a Sufi, who was asked one day, "Master, how old are you?" And the Sufi saint replied, "Four years am I." - "How can that be?" And he answered, "My God was concealed from my soul by the conspiracy of the world for seventy years. But I have glimpsed a little of the beauty of God during the last four years, and they are the years which count as the period of my life." I would tend to think that most of us on this list might have had a similar experience - coming into our lives perhaps through a book, or a lecture, or a living teacher, that changed our life in a similar way. In my own case, my life truly changed after, many years ago, I had become acquainted with the teachings of these two great souls.

I hope you will enjoy your stay here. Sri Ramana Maharshi and Sri Paramahansa Yogananda remain my favorite yogis as well, since two of their books introduced me to the wonderful world of non-duality and Self Realization. Love, Amanda.
