And then, with a different expression on his face: 'You are looking for your glasses, and they are right on your own nose!' Suddenly, his eyes emitted light, spat fire, and when he looked at me, his look went straight into me, physically into my chest. The heart centre, very often felt in his presence, began to get warm, became hot like fire, and then started to spark as if an electric machine were installed next to my heart. I sat straight as a needle, my eyes glued to his drilling fire-look. 'Kill me,' I prayed. How long this lasted I cannot say. It was an event outside of time and space. The moment came when my body could no longer stand the strain. It was as if my chest would explode, and I asked him to let me go. I had received what I came for. This account of the initiation I received from Bhagavan is, of course, only a mere indication. In reality, it was a complete transformation - an Umwertung aller Werte - as Nietsche calls it. And all this without hearing Bhagavan's voice. Communication in silence was clearer than any explanation in words could have been."
