Beyond my wildest dreams, I received
a tremendous gift from You--being able to see You again in person.
So far I've been with You three times,
the last being five years ago at a retreat, and I consider myself
extremely lucky since many initiates have never met You personally.
For me, these experiences were enough to last a lifetime as
I sparingly use the blessing power derived from these meetings,
thanks to God.
Then, on February 22, 2005, on my way
to group meditation at the Budapest Center, I was told by a
sister-initiate, "There's a special gathering at our countryside
center. Come and bring a tent." Although during winter
here in Hungary the nighttime temperature can drop to –25o
C, which is quite cold for using a tent, my heart nonetheless
leaped and I knew intuitively what I had to do. I arrived at
the center the next day, and when the fellow initiates told
me You were there, I almost could not believe it.
Then on my way to the kitchen I saw You
and at that moment You turned around and winked at me. I could
not speak so I just smiled widely and felt You recognized me
as an old friend and that everything was alright. This casual
exchange helped me greatly, and I'll never forget the instant
when You gave me that inspiring wink.
During the subsequent days we spent together,
You taught me much about myself. And I am especially grateful
for the personal changes you suggested to me since by correcting
my mistakes You helped me overcome my karma.
I also thank You for the unique night
of songs during the retreat, when just like a little nightingale
or a mother singing her children to sleep, You sang to us during
meditation. It was a wonderful experience--one that I had only
seen on videotapes but had always wished for--and I thank You
that my wish was fulfilled. You are fantastic, and it was a
marvelous experience to sit near You and watch You closely while
You went to high dimensions and came back although You were
everywhere at the same time. It's difficult to grasp Godhood
with our monkey minds, but when we experience it our souls know
it and our hearts beat with You.
During the time we spent together You
said many times that You love us, and I can only respond, "I
love You, too."
I thank You for Your embrace, for the
distant kiss You threw to me, for the lollipop You hit me on
the forehead with, for many, many eye contacts, for the delicious
meals, for the warm care, for the many other wonderful things
that I received and for the many opportunities to learn while
working. I only hope I can express my gratitude through my spiritual
practice and devotion.
Also, I thank God for bestowing on us
the great opportunity to be with You. With love and embraces,
I hope that You are well.
