Seeing God in Everyone By Mrs. Phyllis Krystal When Swami had the first broken hip in Whitefield, my daughter and I were there at that time. Naturally, everyone was horrified, especially when we were informed that He had walked around for eighteen hours before He was taken to the hospital. I asked in a waking dream or a reverie to be shown how to help Him. I knew that His chair had been removed from the hall, which had been emptied of devotees and closed, allowing no one to re-enter. So, it was a big surprise to see Him sitting in His chair, in my inner room, but not in His familiar form in His orange robe. Instead, was what I can only describe as His light body, which was shining brightly and studded with jewel-like lights. I was, to say the least, both astonished and dazzled by the inner sight. Then, it was as if I heard His voice in my head telling me that this light body was His real Self and the same is true for everyone. However, most people identify with their physical body, so are not aware of this glorious light body that is also the real Self. The next message was that if we would concentrate and visualize the light body around Baba, it would enable us to accept and visualize a similar, but smaller one, first around onself and then around everyone else. Shortly after this deep and meaningful experience, when I had returned home, I was in a store in order to buy some greeting cards. To my utter surprise, I saw a card depicting a similar light body around a painting by a clairvoyant of Jesus Christ. As Baba often reminds us, there are no coincidences! So, we can all use our imagination and visualize a similar light body surrounding everyone with whom we have come into contact, and especially around those we think have harmed us and those we do not like or whom we criticise. No one should be excluded, for, as Swami Himself often reminds us, weare all God and therefore all one at the God-Self level of our being. At this critical time, I would urge all Baba's devotees to remember that Baba is not His body, but in each one and that we can make contact with Him in our own hearts.
