The kid was retarded, and the unaccustomed vitality of getting Swamiji and our complete tour group staying in her residence as company of her mom was making her loud and unruly.
She was about fourteen years outdated and a formidable pressure in the midst of the kitchen the place we have been attempting to make breakfast. I had no thought find out how to react; I simply wished to get away from her. Swamiji, nevertheless, knew simply what to do. He put his fingers on her shoulders and planted an enormous kiss proper on her cheek.
Immediately, she calmed down—and so did I.
That easy act by Swamiji taught me greater than phrases can ever say. Confronted with disharmony and chaos, my impulse had been to run away. Swamiji’s instinctive response in all circumstances is to present vitality and love.
