What changed frustration and fear into becoming a child yearning to be at my master’s feet? It was feeling one with Swami’s love and recognizing that Swami’s love lies inside our hearts.
Dr. Jack Hislop had a similar experience. At the time of his first meeting with Swami, Dr. Hislop was waiting for Swami in a room. When he appeared, Dr. Hislop was taken with the beauty of Swami’s face and the grace of his walk. Dr. Hislop lost his sense of being in the room and fell deep within himself. He was only aware of Swami and a so stirring in his “dry Western heart,” as he called it. He described it in this poetic way, “It was like the so breeze from the fluering of the wings of a buerfly.” Dr. Hislop recognized this stirring as love at the center of his heart. “Who could this be,” he thought, “who is both outside and also residing in my heart as love? It can only be God. Swami is God who has incarnated into human form to aract us and bring us back to the love in our hearts.” Dr. Hislop was an ardent devotee from that moment until his last breath.
