Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
when he looked at me, two beams of silver light came out of his
eyes, like I've never seen before or since. And I remember
thinking, oh my God, if this is a disciple, I can't wait to meet the
master. And of course I was familiar with Papaji from reading his
book, Wake Up and Roar, prior to going to India.
And so I spent the next few months trying to get Papaji to look me
in the eye, but he wouldn't, he'd just give me quick furtive glances.
And I eventually left because he wouldn't look at me, and I went
up to Hrishikesh, and I spent time with Maharaji, another guru,
and I ended up meeting another one of Papaji's disciples called
Dawa [phonetic 28.55], or Pravavarti, and she was running a
center for indigenous children and their families. So for six
months I got involved with that, working with the children, help
opening up clinics, and schools, it was very rewarding. And then
in the afternoon I would just meditate by the Ganges by myself all
day, every day.
And finally my visa expired, and I had to get an extension, and
right at that time, the power had closed the borders for that ability
to go to Nepal and get your visa renewed. And then I went to
Delhi, and told them I was working with the kids in this NGO
organization, would they extend my visa, they said no. So the only
way was for me to go see Papaji again to get the visa extended to
work with the kids. And when I did he said, "Pravavarti told me
about you", and he gave me the juice that I'd been looking for.
And then he sent me back to work with the children, and that's
when I knew that he was my guru. Of all the different ones I'd
been with, he was the one who's mirroring the Truth of who I am
as the soul, as the being. And that's what happens with the
Satguru, the Satguru shows up usually someone who resonates
with your own world in some way, and finishes you, finishes the
search, finishes the desires for something other than what it,
finishes the doubt of who you truly are, and that's what Papaji did
for me, finished me.
TRIP: Right on.
