The kid was retarded, and the unaccustomed power 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 previous and a formidable pressure in the course of the kitchen the place we have been making an attempt to make breakfast. I had no thought learn how to react; I simply wished to get away from her. Swamiji, nevertheless, knew simply what to do. He put his arms 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 provide power and love.
