To Henny about Swamiji as a Model (was being a devotee)

....wanting to be a swami is a beatiful goal to have, it seems to me.

And what is even more beautiful is that here you have a prime example

in Swamiji. So, keeping your desire to become like him in the back of

your mind, why not begin taking small steps by trying to do as he

does? If he does puja, why not learn how to do puja? If he recites

the Chandi, why not learn how? If he has learned how to be efficient

in every little thing, why shouldn't you try to learn as well? And,

if he is patient, loving, has a keen sense of humour, why not

cultivate those attributes in your own life?...

Dear Henny ~ absolutively possolutely beautiful ... how well you have

taken the very essence, not only of what Swamiji teaches and how he

teaches it, but you have then given that to any of us who will take

it, the way to follow. I know this has been said before, in other

ways, for other reasons, but somehow, this one went right into my

heart.
