During those days, we were engaged in the study of the scriptures and spiritual texts. While we did our best to grasp the finer points of faith as expounded by Acharya Maharaj, many a question remained unsolved for want of understanding. One day, we mustered the courage to approach him and seek the answers to the questions which had been vexing ús. Acharya Maharaj, was absorbed in his study. We paid our obeisance and sat down by his side.
All of a sudden, the realisation that we know the answers to all our questions dawned on us. Not wanting to waste his time, we bowed to him again and took our leave. Acharya Maharaj looked up, as if to inquire whether we had any questions. What could we say? Overwhelmed with reverence, we told him with a catch in our voice that by his grace, our questions had turned into solutions. We requested him to bless us that we should find the resolution of all the issues of this life at his feet. He smiled and went back to his study. Blessed is the Acharya, whose glance, untainted by attachment and aversion, has the power to provide the solution to every question, even before it is articulated.
Today, as I observe that other seekers also find the solutions to their questions at his feet, I recall the lines of Poojyapad Swami.
“One, who, seated in the assembly of munis, expounds the path of liberation through the very form of his body, without having to utter a word.”.
