“Once I went to listen to him talking. He was talking spiritual truths from the Advaita Vedānta philosophy. I will tell you roughly what I understood from his words. I can’t say this is what he said, but I can say this is what I heard! ‘We are not the body; there is no pain or suffering for us.’ ”

I am a pediatrician practicing in Tiruvannamalai since 1978. I was Swami’s family doctor. I remember the incident when Swami’s parents brought Him one day to the clinic. My clinic was just opposite their house in Tiruvoodal street. He was bleeding on His thigh with a deep wound; they said He had hurt himself. 

At the age of 12 (after this incident) fortunately I was liberated from this pattern of shrinking. How much alive you feel inside your skin, with the same intensity, with the same authenticity, I felt I was alive in everything that exists!

I tell you, you can never possess enlightenment; you can never ‘achieve’ enlightenment. You can never possess enlightenment; only enlightenment can possess you. It happens to you when you drop all desires. In My own life, I can say I became enlightened when I had My first spiritual experience at twelve.

 I feel, whatever He felt at the time of the deep experience, still remained with Him at that time. He was slightly smiling slightly, and started holding me tightly. I started getting afraid, not knowing what he was doing. He said to walk with Him. Little did I know I was receiving the historic first ever energy darśan from The Avatār!
