When people come to Puttaparthi, it is the result of long planning and a lifelong ambition. When they come, they partake of Swami's blessings and bliss. But what does Bhagawan say about all this?
"Until we come inwardly, outer coming or not coming does not have much meaning." How true! Until we are introverted, externalities do not matter. It is as bad or as good as not coming. In other words, Bhagawan wants us to be here inwardly. It means we should experience Him from within.
Many years ago, Howard Murphet said, when leaving, to Bhagawan that he was sorry and sad to leave the place. Bhagawan said, "You are not going! You are going to come back." To part is to be together. We part so as to be together. It is not as if we are going alone. When we have this feeling of Bhagawan and of everyone here - that of experiencing Bhagawan inwardly, it is more important than outward viisits to this place (Puttaparthi). This is what Bhagawan means.
