Swami Satchidanandaji - A True Testimony
As spiritual aspirants here
is an occasion for all of us to intensely dwell on the striking values which
Pujya Swamiji embodied. His simple
and unassuming approach endeared everyone to him because everyone, who had had
an opportunity to spend a few
minutes with Swamiji, had been the recipient of his love in abundance which experience would be
unforgettable. Swamiji had a natural way of entering into the hearts of
everyone by his quiet manners and by
little acts of loving kindness. He delighted in serving everyone, with not a care for his own physical
frame. Swamiji possessed an innocent and child-like nature where there was no posing, no false modesty. He
freely mixed with the young and the old. Nobody was a stranger to him and therefore all were in his
all-embracing love circle. Whether rich or poor, learned or ignorant, high or low, Sadhu or sinner,
flatterer or fool, humble or conceited, all felt quite close with him. The quintessence of Swamiji’s
teachings is that the more we advance on the path, the more tolerant we will become; our love
circle will widen; we will not find fault with others or impose our views on
others. Most of all, we will become
so humble as to feel all others are greater, with the result that when we talk to them, our feeling of
oneness with all will express itself in our words and actions. His life was a
true testimony of these words. On
this occasion we seek his blessings to be able to live up to these ideals he has placed before us.
