Guest guest Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 Dear all, I just thought of something you might like to hear about my personal experience at Master's Touch. As I told you all in my last email I was once part of a spiritual group that went very wrong. I was part of this group for over ten years and made major life decisions as a result, and was very badly burned. I found it very hard to trust any spiritual teacher as a result. I knew YB was a very special person, but still I never thought I could open my heart to another teacher. Yogiji is far too ill to meet anyone in person, and in fact is really far too ill to be lecturing. I met Bibiji the day before the course began , and she told us that originally he had been scheduled to lecture to us three times. He was not at all pleased about this so she suggested maybe thee times a week. His reply was " What's the Master's Touch without the master ?" So he lectured to us most nights, and we were bussed forty miles for those lectures. The whole Sikh community came out to join us, ns YB had been in seculsion for over a year due to his illness. The very first day though, we were scheduled for orientation after dinner. Instead, ill as he was, YB came up to the Ghostranch to welcome us. This was the only time he took questions. He told us he didn't know if he would make it again but he wanted to welcome us. We were all profoundly touched. After that the lectures were held in Espanola, and he asked that we not stand when he was in the room, as it drained his energy. Later Bibiji told us that he would spend his whole day gathering his strength for the lecture, and as soon as it was over he would collapse. We had our last lecture in Espanola, and we wondered if YB would send for us again. Two days before the course was over we were fisnishing up our practicums , which was interuppted by the news that YB was on his way up to see us again ! To say goodbye. We waited for a long time, and he was wheeled in. I cannot express how profoundly my heart was touched that day. I felt he was like a big daddy and we were his children ,and all he cared about was doing everything he could to see that we became the best we could be. Whatever the personal cost to himself. After he left I went out on the mountainside and cried my eyes out, and knew I was healed. Since returning home I have dreamt about him several times. In one dream he told me he had to go away, but he told me he would always come to me when I needed him. I don't really know why I''m telling you all this, because I know you all know what a wonderful teacher he is. We are profoundly blessed to have found him - or have him find us !

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2002 Report Share Posted December 14, 2002 Sat Nam Avtar, Thank you for giving us this personal experience. It brought tears to my eyes as I was reading it. It reminded me of the first time he visited Trinidad and put his arm around me and hugged me. It was exactly what I needed and he knew it. It was unbelievable. We owe so much to our teacher. He has said that he will be closer to us when he is gone so don't worry. Thanks again. Sincerely yours Hari Sant Singh Give up your sense of mine and yours and become the dust of the feet of all.
