Satsang of Initiator Susan Johnson
Wow! I just know that this body was made to have this
experience. I don't think it was made for any other experience. And these eyes are
just to see that glorious sight of Guru Maharaj Ji. These ears are just to hear
Guru Maharaj Ji. These lips are just to kiss his Feet. This heart just beats
for Guru Maharaj Ji.
Because really there's just no other
experience in this world. There's just nothing else. This world is empty
without this experience. This life is completely useless without Guru Maharaj
Ji. It's such a divine experience. Guru Maharaj Ji is. Such a
beautiful experience. So beautiful.
I just know that the purpose for this life is loving Guru Maharaj Ji, is feeling that love of Guru Maharaj
Ji, being filled with that love of Guru Maharaj Ji. And every time I come to a
program, every time I see Guru Maharaj Ji, I just never want to leave. I never
want to go away.
And yet it just seems like he always sends us away. And it's
kind of like those balloons that were sent off today at the beginning of the
program. We just get spread out into this world. And it's almost like we're
radioactive. We sort of leak this love. Guru Maharaj Ji just fills us up so
much that it sort of comes out of us, everywhere. And little by little it
spreads into this world.
And I know for myself, if it were up to me — because I'm so
selfish — I would just always want to be with Guru Maharaj Ji. But he loves this
world so much. He loves his children so much that he wants everyone to know how
beautiful he is! And I'm so glad that he found me and picked me up. Somehow he catches
me whenever I start to crawl away. And he's kept me. And I know he wants to
keep all of us, all of the time. Because he knows how
beautiful this life can be.
There's so many things that go on
in this world. And yet around Guru Maharaj Ji, food loses its taste, friends
lose their importance, sleep loses its effectiveness. Everything becomes
irrelevant in the face of Guru Maharaj Ji. Every experience.
And all I can do is just beg, "Guru Maharaj Ji, please never let me go.
Please protect me. And help me to become more and more that true lover."
Because some people in this world, it just seems like
they're lovers already. And some people he has to teach. And I feel like maybe I'm
one of those people that he has to teach how to love, how to love him and how
to appreciate him. And there's nothing else I want in this world. Nothing. And I know that's true for all of us. I know that's
true for every one of us. Because I know that that's what this life was made
for, to have that experience of experiences, which is Guru Maharaj Ji.
Guru Maharaj Ji, you're so beautiful — the way you move, the
way you look, the way you talk, the way you are . . . you're so beautiful!
We were laughing in the van today on the way to the program about
what Guru Maharaj Ji said yesterday, that this love was completely irrational.
And we were laughing and saying, "Yes, it's completely irrational. Why
should he love such a bunch of fools, such a bunch of hopeless cases!" And all I can do is say, "Thank you. Guru
Maharaj Ji. Thank you so much! For having so much patience
with me. I don't think your kindness has an end. I don't think your
patience has an end. But I don't want to find it, I
don't want to look for that end. Because I
know I haven't got much time in this
life. I mean, no matter how long it is, it's too
short. And so I don't want to waste my time. I just want to go faster. I want
to do whatever I can do.
And sometimes I feel so slow, so painfully slow. And I don't
want to be slow. I just want to be what you want me to be. I want to do whatever
you want me to do. I just want to be however you want me to be. I want to be
that puppet that just dances to your tune. It's such a beautiful tune you play.
I don't want to be falling all over, stepping on your toes. I just want to
spend this life loving you, dancing with you.
And I know there's nothing else, for every one of us. And
maybe there's people here that don't understand that.
This afternoon all of us were looking up at the press box. Three
people there. Hovering. But you know, if you're one person looking at two people completely in
love, of course you're going to feel left out. And maybe you'd feel like you
shouldn't be seeing that. Some people feel that way. They feel embarassed. Or maybe you feel it's beautiful. Or maybe you
feel you want some, too.
And Guru Maharaj Ji's just here in this world, just loving
the most outrageous love. And nobody has to be left out. Nobody wants to be left
out. And the only thing that's in our way is just our stupid ideas, just our
ego. And all we have to do is just let go of those things and we can be in that
love story. And to me that's what it's about.
I know for myself I just couldn't wait to get over here. I just came right over. Because I just wanted to be with Guru Maharaj Ji. And I just took all the steps that I could take to be with Guru Maharaj Ji as soon as possible. And I guess that's what a lot of you are doing too. Just coming to be with your lover.
The opportunity begins right now and goes on forever.
Pranam, Guru Maharaj Ji.
