I
would like to share a little event in the chapel, which was
happening
some years ago.
While
I was meditating in the chapel, Swamiji entered the room
with a group
of italien people. He introduced them into the icons
hanging in the
secret space behind the curtain .
Suddenly
he pointed on the icon above – one of the icons I painted
for him -
and said in an exciting mood: „Look ! I have painted this
icon!“
and then, like an actor he was pointing on all the other icons
of
mine, hanging in the chapel – repeating: “Look I also painted
this and this and that icon!“
First
I was somehow irritated, but quickly I realized in my next
thought :Yes-
it is true! It is HIM who is painting through me! I am
HIS
instrument!“
Immediately
he came to me and caressed my face tenderly,
showing to me that I
have got it.
It
was an expression – going hand in hand with my feelings while
painting and falling into deep concentration – through HIM.
