Visión Interior
Por Sri Madhusudan Naidu
LA BIENAVENTURANZA ES MI ALIMENTO.
"Mientras las anfitrionas ingresaban con el plato del desayuno para Swami en el Ashram en Bali, Él percibió que uno de los jóvenes líderes se había introducido sigilosamente también. Esto no pasó desapercibido para Swami y le preguntó al joven:
'¿Eres el cocinero?'
'No, Swami'.
'Entonces, ¿por qué entraste?'
'Para darte el alimento'.
'¿Cuál es Mi alimento?'
No hubo respuesta. Entonces Swami respondió: 'El amor es Mi forma y la Bienaventuranza es Mi alimento'.
'¿Qué es la bienaventuranza?', Swami pregunó otra vez.
Alguien respondió: "La felicidad".
Swami corrigió: "La felicidad viene y se va pero la Bienaventuranza crece".
'¿Cómo se obtiene bienaventuranza?', fue la próxima pregunta para Swami.
'Cuando te unes con Dios', dijo alguien.
Nuevamente Swami improvisó diciendo: 'Están en estado de bienaventuranza cuando se Unen con ustedes mismos. Cuando el fuego no es perturbado por el agua, ni el agua por el fuego (calor), entonces ambos son ellos mismos, y de esa manera sienten bienaventuranza. Pueden estar en estado de bienaventuranza sólo cuando están Unidos con ustedes mismos, su naturaleza verdadera, la cual es Atman'.
Swami continuó: 'Así como el cuerpo necesita alimento para su nutrición, para ser fuerte y competente, el alimento del alma es la bienaventuranza, la cual hace que brille más fuerte como la lámpara que brilla más fuerte cuando es alimentada con aire y aceite'.
Así, todos tuvimos un desayuno espiritualmente nutritivo que alimentó nuestras almas con bienaventuranza".

INNER VIEW

Bliss is My Food
As the hostesses walked in with the plate of breakfast for Swami at the Ashram in Bali, He noticed that one of the youth leaders had kind of sneaked in as well. This did not go unnoticed by Swami and He asked the young man, "Are you the cook?"
"No Swami".
"Then why did you come in".
"To give you food".
"What is my food?"
No answer. So Swami Himself replied, "Love is My form and Bliss if My food".
"What is bliss?", Swami asked again.
Someone responded, "Happiness".
Swami corrected, "Happiness come and goes but Bliss grows".
"How do you get bliss?", was the next question from Swami.
"When you are united with God", said someone.
Again Swami improvised by saying, "You are in bliss when you are United with yourself. When fire is not disturbed by water, and water by fire (heat), then both are themselves, and are thus in bliss. You can be in bliss only when you are United with yourself, your true nature which is Atman".
Swami continued, "Just as the body needs food for nourishment to be strong and capable, the soul's food is bliss which makes it shine brighter like the lamp that shines brighter, when fed with air and oil."
Thus, we all had a spiritually nourishing breakfast that fed our souls with bliss.
