With Whom Would You Like To Spend One Day With? (having Conversations Etc.)

[A way to Actualize]

Even if the specific person is dead, think in terms of when he/she was alive.

I'd like to spend one day with any enlightened being. I've never met anyone who was enlightened. I'm curious, is it usually a profound experience to be around an enlightened individual?

@WhoisJon I had the luck to be a long time around an enlightened one. Luck or good karma, who knows...

At that time I was the skeptical one. Weeks I have tried to find something that would proof he is not enlightened at all. It never happened. As critical as I was, I looked, searched, asked, investigated, thought my brains out... At last I had to confess there is really nothing to be found wrong with the Guru.

The funny thing was that I had wandered around India for years, met a lot of so called Guru`s, but never took them seriously. As a matter of fact I always made jokes about them and around them. There was no one who was able to convince me. Up till now I am highly critical about all the so called enlightened ones mentioned on this site. But the one who took me on his travels was the one I actually met in my own home-country which was some kind of evidence for the old saying that the true Guru comes to you rather than the opposite.

All the experiences with him changed my life. I never could have imagined to experience so much love in this world. It`s hard to describe those experiences with words. He is the embodiment of all the knowledge I have stored in my life concerning spirituality and wisdom. It`s amazing to gain knowledge by sitting in silence with your Guru, that incredible power of silence! Even gaining knowledge in dreams, gaining knowledge in weird situations.... It`s like he is all the time walking with you, looking over your shoulder, whispering in your ear. Hard to describe...

I wish everybody to have, even just once in the life, an experience of divine love in the human form. Questions disappear, knowledge flourishes, joy wells up and an incredible confidence about the future of humanity dawns.... 

I salute my Guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Jai Guru Dev

@Henri Wow! Amazing! Sounds super special and highly enlightening. I'm excited thinking one day I'll meet such a person. Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it!
