Walter Keers (4)): Initiation by Bhagavan

[Guest guest]

"Then, suddenly, he looked at me with a smile of utter amazement.

'What do you want?' The smile asked. 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."
