I met Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar last week in Delhi. (It is so difficult to address him so formally. There is absolutely no formality between a devotee and the divine, when heart talks to heart there is no need for formality. The Guru Disciple relationship is indeed the most precious of all relationships, especially because of those moments when you feel so utterly loved, cared for, there is almost no distance between the two of you. However, for our purposes here we will keep up with the norms.)
After meeting him an old favorite song popped in my head – You are the Wind Beneath my Wings. So appropriate, because that’s exactly how I felt – as if I had suddenly discovered my wings and would fly away. Without any fear, without any worry in the world, without worrying about falling; I had a permanent safety net beneath me. It was so good to reconnect with this feeling. I am so lucky to have found a true Guru.
You give me Freedom
– To think
– To wander
– To feel
– To fall
– To be a brat
– To be useful
– To teach
– To love
– To express
– To impress
– To move ahead
– To let go
– To explore
– To be me
– To be FREE
Residing in my heart, loving hand on my head, arms around me, you become one with me.
