Meditation
is beautiful like an autum leaf.
So you can become most beautiful when you
are about to be like an autum leaf.
The famous Saint
Lahiri
Mahasaya said:
You have to seek God in the summer of life.
Only then he will be with you in the winter.
At the age of 110 Bassi Gulam was still in his spiritual flowering! So growing old
in meditation is not
that
bad. In the West we glorify youth.
We want
to be eternal partying teenagers with wrinkle free faces. I talked with one
of my
students
in the school I work. It was her 20th birthday. She
was crying: My youth is over! I am no longer as
beautiful as before.
So it is not a good long term
investment to put
your money on the body. The good news is that if you start in an early age
to "aware" the eternal source, you
can experience
the grace
to leave this world just as beautiful as
the autum leaf you can see
just below.
A human life can thus enjoy 3 harvest seasons: First the blossoming of a perfect body, then the flowering of emotional and intellectual
intelligence and finally the gift of
entering the
hidden spiritual garden of old age.
Die 2 live
Two weeks after the pictures
you see here were taken, Sant Avaduth Bassi Gulam left his
body as an act of consciouss will.
He was working in the fields when he stumbled and broke his leg. Then this
gigant spiritual oak tree decided to let the leafs
fall to the ground. For me this moment was a breeding ground where cosmic
seeds from this old dying star gave birth to new stars.
He was sitting on his couch in yogic posture as far as his broken leg could
allow him. He then began loudly to recite a mantra:
Ram
ram
ram
ram ram
ram
ram
The mantra became like a whisper as
his mind turned inward and back to the source.
In a spilt second everything stopped - it felt like even nature stopped....
Bassi Gulam left a body breathless...

icecubes

down from the Himalayan mountains
to cremate him
