Another observation this morning

February 26, 2007

Jai Guru Datta

This morning I am the only person (and therefore the full taker of all of His feet's Prasad,at that very place) at the departure entrance,Chennai Airport.

I could observe His feet from inches distance.

Those feet,where all the 330 Million Devathas long to be near...they looked like just ordinary feet.My physical eyes can not even say that they are beautiful.

But now it is clear to me.

Why our Lord takes a human form,that is darker in shade and all that.

For me it is because,when we see the brilliance (His Thejas) glowing from His physical body,we are in no doubt that it is "That" and no ordinary physical glow.

(Some Film star's when they are young,they glow without makeup.I am referring to that)

Our Lord wants to lead us,by example.

He seems to be saying , " If you observe what I ask YOU to observe,you also can get that glow,even if you are dark and all that."

(I think I have not said what I wanted to tell here,but hope my family members get my point)

And His smile.

And His waving "Bye,Bye"

This morning,He waved to us all, and especially to me,after hearing my name,said aloud by Prasad,(every time I see Prasad,I want to give/do something special for him,I am indebted to him forever.)

First I thought He is waving to others.But there were only a handful of devotees there.

I am still relishing the taste.He waved to me as if He is collectively waving for all the foreign tours He had taken earlier.His face lit up,His brilliance flowing like a pleasant lightning,His arm high above and almost His upper torso...all engaged in His waving.

No .I just remembered.That was the hand that saved and borne the brunt of that darkside,the otherday near Mysore.Saved 54 school children,I heard Him say later.

Jai Guru Datta,I hope Swamiji has fully healed it.

He may be a clever actor.After all he knows Sri Krishna of Dhwaraka,personally.That kapadanadakaveshadhaari.

But,this morning,when He waved,it was all enthusiasm of my son,and with eyes full of divine love,He waved.

Prasad also waved to me.A miniature of "That" Big waving.

My eyes are moist now.I just taste the nector of that moment even now ,again and again.

Normally,when our beloved waves bye bye to us upon leaving us on a mission abroad or outstation,we feel sad.And after sometime when we think of that moment we feel further sad.

But here,I feel joyous,even now.

What is meant by "bye"?

That is good bye.That is may God be with you.Short is 'bye"

So,Swamiji waved bye bye.

I think that means, "I am with you"

Knowing that He is with me,(realising it.For I forget this and cry sometimes)I feel joyous.

Till yesterday I am going through a very bad piece of my life drama.I was crying for strength.Like a big guy,I declared to Him,once that,I am prepared to take beating like a man.Like a true shishya of Him.I requested Him to put me through the fire and stone and drag me.I requested Him for the required strength.

He nodded in appreciation.

But,last week,it became so much unbearable that I had very strange ideas.I thought of even.... I told ,Him,yes I will take it.But where is the strength.Last week,there was no strength left.Or I could not bear the effects of bad karma.It was all too much for me.

I somehow went to the nearest Datta Temple,and by chance I heard that He is making a brief appearance at the Airport.In His transit.

I just made use of it.

Jai Guru Datta

P.s: Are you asking me,did you tell your problems,at His presense?(Thinking it at the mind level?)

What problem?

Till I came out of the Airport,that thought never arose.
