"The first sight of his face brought a gasp of astonishment. It had an
unearthly beauty, with hair and beard of the finest texture streaming out like a halo, and eyes that had a penetrating quality that made one feel that one was standing in the presence of
a being from another world. And yet Shivapuri Baba was wholly without the demeanour one might expect from a Holy Man. At no time during our many conversations did he make any suggestion that he was to be venerated or even treated as different from ordinary men."
J.G. Bennett
This man was
completely different from any other man I have ever seen. He was serene. At the first interview I knew nothing of the man, of his great age and his saintly reputation. Yet I was immediately aware of
his aura of serenity. I cannot teil you what it was like because I know nothing with which I can compare it...And the depths of his serenity would fill me as we talked of life and death, of God and man.

AntwortenLöschenIn the biography of Ainslie Meares I wrote in my book called "Ainslie Meares on Meditation" I have included several conversations that Meares had with the Shivapuri Baba as reported by another person who was present at the time. Ainslie Meares on Meditation also includes the biography, Relief Without Drugs Distilled by Meares, his refined method after Relief without Drugs, samples of his poetry plus more. cheers OB
