Then my first HK Guru, Hansadutta, then Sridhar Majaharaj. They've all shaped me in the ways of selfless service to God. Being with Sridhar was like being in bliss and pain simultaneously. He made you aware of reality, because he was so aware of it. We are living in a world of death, so the real sages have that air around them constantly.
Reality lives on their veranda so to speak.
Dieing people go to them. If you hang with Guru's, you meet alot of people with serious diseases and serious life situations. This keeps you very sober about what's really going on here. But there is also bliss in life. There is bliss in being conscious.
