Walter Keers (5): his presence make my heart jump into the sky

[Guest guest]

"Now, more than 25 years later, [Walter Keers has written this in

1977] I am still sometimes with Bhagavan. I do not mean with him as

pure consciousness or the Atman, Brahman, but as this typically

'Bhagavanish Presence', with or without form. I am no longer

interested in visions or other phenomena of a yogic nature. But when

suddenly he is there, in one way or the other, his presence may

either bring tears of deep love and emotion to my eyes or it may make

me glow with happiness and make my heart jump into the sky. Such is

the radiance from his Heart. It is the Heart of the world.

 

I am asking myself: what has Bhagavan meant to me, and what does he

still mean to me? I find that it is impossible to give a neat answer

to this question.

The first thing, perhaps, is that he opened my heart. Immediately when

I saw him, even from a distance, I recognised that This was what I had

been looking for. When I say that this This was radiating,

all-penetrating and all-overthrowing Love, striking me with the power

of lightning, I know that only those who have had the same experience

will know what I mean."
