"What do you want?" He asked. "I want Light - I am in darkness and I need guidance" she answered. Sri Dilip Kumar said "I am a seeker myself, I have not reached the goal. I am myself a disciple of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. How can I guide you?" "I have met many eminent men but I have not met a man who is more transparently sincere. This is very important to me. If I am half as sincere as you are I cannot go wrong; and as for realization, will it be blasphemy if I say that I have a secret conviction that even God is not static but is leaping from one perfection to another? We shall grow together - you by leaps and bounds from peak to peak and I trudging behind" Ma Indira Devi said. Dadaji said "Indira, I pray to the Lord that I may not fail you. May I never betray your trust." This was the beginning of a rare relationship. A marvelous chapter started in their spiritual lives. It was a relationship not only of a Guru and a disciple, a father and a daughter, a teacher and pupil but also of two friends with one Goal, one path and above all of fellow pilgrims - pilgrim of the stars. Dadaji and Ma Indira Devi analysed their relationship sometimes. Ma Indira Devi said "It is unbelievable that you can feel so close to another being without any physical proximity! This aspiration to make love selfless, pure and undemanding brings such a feeling of contentment, intimacy and a vivid sense of purity. There is no fear, but certainly an awe - a tremendous respect bordering on worship. The sense of possessiveness is not there." Ma Indira Devi said "Dadaji's way of teaching was unique, his method was LOVE, with which he broke down the resistance of an obstinate disciple. There was never any coercion, any compulsion but there was a more forceful medium, LOVE. It did not give the disciple a feeling of servitude, of duty-bound slavery, of being caged, but the experience of freedom, of a sense of security, a protection round one. It was a beautiful way of teaching and a lovely experience of learning by observation and by loving. Love taught us to observe, to see, to wait and to give." | |||||||||
