But then, when you don’t expect it, he can show you a deeper reality behind this reality, an electric joy behind the mundane round of life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Guru Purnima was celebrated on the full moon of July, 1971. This is the day when the spiritual teacher is honoured. Around Baba, Guru Purnima and his birthday were the biggest festival days of the year. Thousands of devotees came from all over India and the West, and the darshan line went on for hours. On a visit to Bombay before the event I bought a small ivory statue of the Buddha from one of the souvenir shops near the Taj Mahal hotel, to present to Baba. Though I was not particularly attracted to the path of Buddhism, the Buddha is the quintessence of yogic wisdom and compassion, so my gift had symbolic value for me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He swallows up the night of ignorance, removes the moonlight of the duality of knowledge and ignorance, and ushers in the day of Self-knowledge for the wise. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
