Sri Wuji is still a little dazed and distrait after weeks of dissipation in wordiness and in what he calls food-fuss and silly birth-death celebration. Is it 19 or 90? he asks regarding the candles on the birthday-cake, but there were no candles at all on the cake, only in large letters : “Sunyata: Ego-free Inner-standing”. However, instead of visible candles, there were present 90 loveable egojies-, all enlightened, though only a few of them aware of being luminous in Self radiant Light. We quoted Ramana Maharshi: “You who wish to celebrate the birthday, seek first whence was your birth? One’s birthday is, when he enters THAT which, transcends – birth and death, the Eternal Being. To seek one’s Self and merge in the Self, that is wisdom”. Sri Wuji adds, Thou art thy Self the object of thy search. Ego-oblivion is Self-awareness – Grace-awareness. The waves on the Pacific Ocean are very close to the Sea. The Source and i are a non dual.
Today, August 13, marks the 42nd death anniversary of this revered holy man. It is a touching coincidence that, in a letter written in November 1980, Sunya Bhai expressed his heartfelt wish to live for one hundred years and celebrate his birth-centenary with Rabindranath Tagore, Magrethe behin, the Queen of Danes, Queen of Spain, Indira Gandhi, and the Queen of Denmark,Prince Peter of Greece, Svetoslav Roerich, Ranika Devi and Saints/Masterjis. This extraordinary aspiration reflected his universal vision, his childlike joy, and the deep friendships that transcended nations, cultures, and generations.
He also mentioned his autobiography in this letter, entitled Sunyata – Ego-Free Inner-standing, which was being printed in Chicago. Although he had no desire in life, he lived ego-free, death-free, and body-free. He has always quoted, “I have nothing to say.”
Destiny, however, had another design. On August 13, 1984, Sunya Bhai left his mortal body following a road accident, and his cherished dream of celebrating his hundredth birthday remained unrealized. Yet the true measure of a life is not its length but its enduring influence. Though he did not reach his centenary, the light of his wisdom, compassion, and spiritual presence continues to illumine the hearts of seekers around the world. -Rama Kant-
