Thanks for your kind words, feel free to use my post as you like. I have taken the liberty to re-post here, your wonderful post about meeting Nis. I'm sure folks here will enjoy it. Hope you don't mind. A Meeting with Nisargadatta happened today. This strange and wonderful event occurred as I was out walking - an old, somewhat bent over old man was suddenly noticed coming toward me as I was walking along inwardly humming " om namo bhagavate sri ramanaya " to myself, happily strolling along in a beautiful crisp California autumn morning. The sky blue as clarity can be - the slight breeze - the hum of traffic - all wondrous Being - and then . . . The man came closer, looking down, a cigarette in a gnarled hand - and I looked at him and said, heya! Bang! He look up and straight at me – dead on- on and with his cigarette (I'd swear it was one othe those little Indian " beedies) poised for a puff, grinned and met my eyes - it was Nisargadatta. Really - in my direct experience - it was He. For a stunned moment we stared into infinity - One Essence meeting on a cool morning under a canopy of blue and green - skies and trees - all was stopped and all was Loving being that is all! Bang. The moment passed, the man grinned again, and sauntered off. I stood stock still. My brain knew it was impossible that Nisargadatta had " reincarnated " this moment. But my Heart knew better - there was and is no doubt that this was " Darshan " of the great master himself. The sage Bhagavan Nityananda has - as the stories go - appeared in similar ways to this to devotees - and I was always a bit skeptical. But having this experienced really erased all doubts, leaving in the wake of that experience a clear and total knowing that, in Divine Timeless Being, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. And that means - anything! As the man walked away I pranamed, hands folded in respect, love pouring out all around - and for the next hour I experienced seeing God in every blade of grass. When I finished my walk around the block he was nowhere to be seen. But his Presence remains as the most palpable sense of aliveness and Love imaginable (or really – Unimaginable!) This was in the nature of a confirmation for me - and yet I do not claim that this experience is anything all that significant - it was simply another event in the life of an organism to which the name 'charlie' was appended to a tiny baby by two nice people named Charles and Barbara Hayes. There is no " enlightened person " here. That said - damn! It was great!
