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."
