He opened the gate of my heart

[Guest guest]

"Mastan Swami was one of those rare devotees who experieced the Self on his

first

meeting with Bhagavan. He gave a brief description of what happened to him when

he spoke

to Kunju Swami:

 

'When I came to Bhagavan, he was seated like a rock outside Virupaksha Cave. His

unwavering

gaze was filled with grace, compassion and steady wisdom. I stood by his side.

After giving me a

look, he opened the gate of my Heart and I was also established in his state. I

stood like that for

eight hours, absolutely without fatigue, but filled with total absorption and

peace.

Bhagavan in those days used to open our Heart with a simple gracious look and it

transformed us.

There was no need for any question since he made us, by his look, like

himself.'"

 

(David Godman: Power of the Presence, part one, p. 81)

Thank you Gabriele for sharing about Bhagavan and please continue (the

devotees beg you!).

 

We are the Heart.

 

Love to all
