I was so engrossed in looking at this wonderful man for the first time that everything else faded away. What impressed me most was his
rather wild quality, as of something untamed, and his truly remarkable eyes.
He smiled, and motioned for me to sit beside him. He took my hand and from time to time patted my shoulder. We sat for several minutes in silence, and I was aware of a great feeling of love and
peace emanating from him; also a curious feeling of recognition came to me, as if I had found a long lost friend. Then Baba took my left hand, and some sort of wave of strength passed to me from
him. It was as if an electric current of pure love were turned on, which filled me with ecstasy. I began to breathe deeply, as if taking an anesthetic...
The feeling in me was that I must serve him in some way. There were many things I should have liked to ask him, but all questions seemed irrelevant and inadequate.
