The first time I saw Him, I had a letter
clutched in my palm. I was eleven or twelve years old. He ignored me and did
not accept my letter.
He took my heart instead.
Loving Him is enough –
the ultimate experience in my last sojourn of this life.
So many reasons to love Him:
He is my best friend, the one whom I share every secret and emotion with.
He is my best friend, the one whom I share every secret and emotion with.
He laughs at my fears and says
lovingly, “Why fear when I am here?”
He has stood by me and showed me that
nothing is lost when one’s life falls apart or when one’s trust in humanity
crumbles.
He alone helped me see that God is
Love and that in our veins that same love runs like an invisible channel
waiting to be channelized into the Universe.
He taught me that my pain is nothing
but an inevitable awakening from the Universe – an awakening of love, compassion
and awareness.
Even in the midst of bone chilling pain, His smile appeared to me, He made jokes that I found myself smiling at and I found the courage not to crumble, cry or ask “Why me?”

Instead I said, “How can you joke at a time like this?” He patted my head and said, “You need to smile more through these tests, that’s why.” He has an amazing sense of timing, pranks and humor but few people know it.
He gives me love, courage and
unconditional protection. He is my Super Hero.
And if I maybe allowed to make a wish
today, it is always this - May my final
thoughts be of you - may I finally find my way back to you – the origin of my
Being and may I say your name alone and none other with the last drumming of my
heart beat.

@TanmiGold: Good point. It is an awakening of the Self indeed.
@Aravind Balasubramanya: Grateful and thank you so much. I asked Swami for a sign whether he liked this post or not. Hours later, I read your comment and I felt that this is His message. Thank you for the divine affirmation, Brother Aravind. This means a lot to me.
