I LOVE YOU, SWAMI


Swami...
When we first met
in Puttaparthi,
many years ago,
I was so ignorant,
had no direction.


Yet...
something prompted
this naive heart
to seek Your Divinity.
I still remember
my thoughts
while waiting in darshan.


"Baba, is there anything
that I can do for You?
I have no time,
no skill,
no knowledge,
NO time at all!
But... 
if there is anything
that I can do,
without changing
too much
of my life, that is,
please do let me know."


Then I laughed,
"Oh, how silly I am!
Baba does not need me.
If He is God,
He can do everything!
And besides,
He already has
so many
gifted devotees
close to Him
to do His work."


How silly I was indeed...
didn't know
You would hear me,
didn't think
You would guide me,
didn't believe
You would care for me.
And even as the path
was forming before me,
I still thought that
it was all just me.


Swami...
As I look back now,
I can see how much
my life has changed
since that fateful day.


Now I know that
everything I have,
It is You
who gave to me,
every skill,
every knowledge,
every minute...
All I had to give
in return to You
was only my time,
my heart,
and me.


It is still beyond
my human comprehension
why You are doing 
all this for me.
I can only pray,
every single day,
to thank You
and say,
"I love You, dear Swami..."
