Articles: Devotion | See God in all

In 1994, I was in Prasanthi Nilayam with a group of Danish Sai devotees for Christmas. I did not travel to India to find out who Baba was. For some unknown reason it already seemed clear to me that He was the reincarnation of Lord Krishna, the Creator of this Universe. Nor did I come for healing, to be convinced about Baba’s ability to materialise, or to test His Divine powers. I went there because I had a deep longing to see Him and feel His presence.
Eyes of Endless Depth :
Those Eyes...that encompassed eternity.
One day during Darshan, He was standing right in front of me. He did not speak to me, but He looked into my eyes and smiled. His face was so beautiful. An old saying states, “The eyes are the mirror of the soul” and I often felt that when I looked into the eyes of a person I would see a reflection of their soul’s uniqueness.
But with Swami, there seemed to be no individual soul. No beginning. No end. Looking into His eyes was a view into Eternity, into the Absolute Infinite Beingness – God. I was plunged into the unfathomable, overwhelmed and deeply touched. He left me awestruck, with tears in my eyes.
A few days later, on Christmas day, an Indian Sai devotee shared with me the following quote by Baba :
“No matter where you go, always know that I will be there, inside you, guiding you every step of the way. In the years to come, you will experience Me in My different manifestations of My form. You are My very own, dearer than dear to Me. I will protect you like the eyelids that protect the eyes.”
Little did I know at that time, how significant these words would be to me in the years to come!
Aspirations of the Heart :
When I returned to Denmark my life changed completely. If ever I were to be worthy of looking into His eyes again I would have to put His teachings into practice. What had He told me? That I should see Him in His different manifestations of His form, and that only through love and service to mankind could I serve God and attain God’s grace. On a spring day in 1995 the following poem flowed easily into my mind.
Beloved One, Beloved One :
Let me be your sacred son.
I am Yours and You are mine
We are all in Love Divine.
Take my life and make me You;
Make me just as loving too.
You are God and I am too,
Let me work in love for you.
Lead me on the journey through
All the way back Home to You.
I am Yours and You are mine;
We are all in Love Divine.
Oh, My Lord I pray to Thee,
Make me humble on my knee.
I will serve the best I can;
See You Lord, in every man.
We are One :
Father, Son.
Please make me Yours,
Beloved One.
