MEETING BHAGAVAN in 1903
In 1903, while wandering near the hill for gathering flowers, I saw many people walking towards the Sadguru Swami Cave. A person from the crowd told me, “There is one Brahmana Swami there who sits motionless.”
These words kindled in me a desire to see him. I bought a little sugar candy as a token offering and went to see him.
What a sight he was! For the first time I saw the magnetic Lord who draws towards him the minds of those who see him. Even though he was unwashed and covered with dust, his holy body glowed like gold.
On seeing this ascetic sannyasin with a frame so lean that it exposed his bones, my mind melted and tears welled up within me.
The young Lord than opened his eyes and graciously directed them towards me. I approached, placed the sugar candy near him and prostrated. After Bhagavan had taken a piece and eaten it, a sadhu who was nearby returned some of it to me as prasad.
