Reflections from my Spiritual Journey
On Thursday, I travelled to Punjab to see my spiritual teacher. I am still here…in Punjab. Listening to him live is an entirely different experience… his presence, his luminous aura, and a voice that carries a depth and sweetness nothing in this world can match. The love with which he speaks is something you don’t just hear; you feel it in every part of you. It feels like yesterday when, at 14, I had my first astral experience through his grace. I remember thinking I had reached the pinnacle … that I had discovered the other side of life. I had no idea it was only the beginning. The universe within is far more infinite than anything outside us. Every time I believed I had reached the peak of awakening, something new opened up and shattered another set of concepts I once held tightly. Bit by bit, everything I thought was “solid” dissolved, until the truth became unavoidable… What saints like Kabir and Rumi repeated endlessly became a lived reality … this world is indeed an illusion…it appears real only because we cling to it - attach ourselves to it! I hope I am able to do justice to all of you on this path. I will give my best as a teacher, because I am accountable to my own teacher for the way I guide you. I am planning to begin weekly classes from January/February onwards. I cannot commit to a specific date yet, as a major event in my life is approaching, and the schedule will be adjusted around it.
