A cloud of rose fragrance

Uma writes:

                                

One day, shortly before the chapel in Steffenshof was inaugurated, I was there painting when Guruji stepped in. I was a bit under time pressure because I had to drive home soon. Therefore I asked Swamiji if I could continue with my work, despite the fact that in some minutes the evening prayer would begin in the temple. “It is up to you whether you go to the temple, you would prefer to do so, no?”

 “No Swamiji”, I replied, I would rather continue painting, because this also is a meditation and it is for You…”

 “It’s ok” he said and left the room cheerfully.

 Soon after that I heard him coming down the staircase, passing through the door and stepping out on the courtyard. I was aware that he would now go to the temple. I began to concentrate fully on my work in order to avoid that any sadness or regret would take hold of me because of my choice….. Suddenly – by now Swamiji must have been at the temple already for quite a while - a hauntingly beautiful fragrance of roses filled the whole chapel.

I walked back and forth in the empty chapel. It was not an illusion, the scent which filled the whole room almost took my breath away. Astonished and deeply touched I started to cry.

At times, His unlimited Love smells like roses…..
