Synergy Television Program Interview, by Charlene Ryan.  Seattle, June 25th, 1990.

Swamiji:   He says well, when you have his darshan, that is when you look at him, just the look itself will give you that energy, he says.

Q:   Yes, I feel it.

Swamiji:   That’s what he says, that’s what is called the philosophical [i.e., spiritual] current, the currents of philosophy. He gives you those currents.
So that’s the way he wants to serve the people. That’s the way he wants to change the people. That’s what is called the power attained through tapas. It’s called tapas shakti.

Q:   What I feel is that whatever is out of balance, being in his presence is an invitation to come into balance.

Swamiji:   He says yes. He says automatically you will come to balance.

Q:   When people are in his presence, does he see their auras? Can he see illnesses? What does he see?

Swamiji:   He says well, it’s the other way around. All those that are in him, the people will see it, he says. The light, the aura in him, the power in him, the energy in him, it’s we who see that. He need not see what is in us. He says well, he just sits there without doing anything. Then the current, the lighting and all, all those will go effect the people sitting there. If you inquire from the people you’ll understand that.

Q:   So it seems in my experience that what he does is open up his heart and we take what we want.

Swamiji:   “Yes, correct.”

Q:   Can Swamiji notice the difference in the students as they are progressing?

Swamiji:   Yes, he comes to know of it. He says not only him, but the people who are doing the practice, they also know of it, they also come to know of it. And also the people who are watching them, the others will see them, they also will come to know of that.
