He mirrors the minds of those around him. Infinitely sensitive to every phenomenon and for whom every phenomenon is a stimulus capable of provoking an infinite series of thoughts, he is a man whom admirable texts cannot exhaust, do not even define. He says little, yet moves the young and old to action. An Indian by birth, a Swami by choice, a Sadhu by temperament, his ideas are nurtured by the simple, universal truths repeated endlessly in all cultures – serve, love, give – selflessly. Homeless in the literal sense of the word, yet firmly entrenched in the hearts of those who seek answers to the eternal mysteries, he guides by the light of the masters. He creates, outside the realm of reason, real yet symbolic worlds. His words confound and enlighten simultaneously. They are, as all great words are, open to multitude of meanings. Together they form a myriad of tiny mirrors that reflect the minds of his listeners. Perhaps the most striking quality of his thoughts is the way they dismantle beliefs and notions foisted by years of schooled wisdom and, at the end of it all to glimpse in a strange intangible way, the quintessence of things as they always were and always will be. Such insights though rare and precious, are sufficient to inspire, to motivate action, to take that one extra step towards realizing a dream.
