Guest guest Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 " I felt fully satisfied and peaceful and thought that I could not possibly receive anything more than Maharaj had told me. I thought of going back to Arunachala the next day. I mentioned it and asked him for his blessing. 'If you feel like that, then you may go. Do you know what my blessing is for you? Until you leave your body, may you have full devotion and surrender to your Guru.' Maharaj looked at me compassionately. Moved at his kindness, I started to cry but controlled myself. Even then a few tears trickled down my cheeks. He smiled and gave me a piece of fruit. He then got up and taking a huge pair of cymbals, started to sing devotional songs in praise of his Guru. I bowed down to him and went to rest in my room.
