Once, Johanssen Tideman of Oslo flew from Bombay to Bangalore, drove to Puttaparthi and climbed the steps to Swami's room. Baba glanced at his Nordic physique from head to foot and said, "You look quite fit and fresh", then prodded him to answer His question, "How do I look?"
Tideman was taken aback. He stuttered, "Swami! You look quite fit and fresh." He had no time to discover other adjectives and merely repeated what Swami had said about him.
Swami surprised him again, asking Tideman how Kasturi looked. I squirmed and tried to see trim. Tideman moved along the same rut. He gave me a long look and said, "He looks quite fit and fresh."
At this, Swami said, "Do you know why? You are all My Image."
(From "Loving God" by Sri N. Kasturi)
