A man had stayed ten years with his guru in an ashram in India. Due to compelling circumstances, he had to go elsewhere leaving his guru.
With tears in his eyes, he approached his guru and cried, "After ten years with you, I have to leave your gracious presence."
The saint looked at him and said, "Is that what you had learned after years of stay with me here? How can you ever be away from that Presence? That presence is the core of your being, your true Self. To be that is the ultimate experience! Knowing becomes Being! With your eyes closed, be in a contemplative mood and say silently to yourself, "I do not exist." Feel that you are saying this in the presence of the enduring background of silence."
(From the Divine Discourses of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
