When i started on the path of martial arts, by chance and great luck, I meet my first teacher and also spiritual master. He is a genius, a person very rare to find in our days. He is a doctor, martial arts instructor, artist, writer, and also a devotee. Such a rare combination in our days. People are either spiritual either bonded to the illusion of the material world. But not him. At his early age in the time of the Romanian revolution against communism he was hit badly in the head and developed an hematoma with ended up with a sever operation on the brain to extract. Operation in which he was declared dead for a few precious moments. His body was not alive.
I remember the first important question i asked him was : Sensei what have you seen on the other side?
He replay : "imagine Angels so powerful that with a single thought can destroy the entire world , imagine entities so powerful with this immense responsibility. How would you live if you had this responsibility?"
It took me 4 years to understand this words .... 4 years until the knowledge had sprouted.
All knowledge needs some time to sprout. The seed is there and is waiting for the right time and place to sprout. If i tell you that you are hollow and empty, that you are the Divinity, you may understand it, but it may takes many many years to feel it with your heart and full awareness.
He was my mentor, my trainer, my doctor and my friend for so many years. He had a big position in the society and always he wanted to push me in the "good world" even if everybody was against that and asking why does he takes this boy with him everywhere. He would not care about words, his state of evolution is superior to the importance of words. I remember the last question i ask him before leaving in France was what does he think about Yoga. His answer will always resonate in my mind. He replay: "do you know that Cosmin in old greek means Son of Cosmos? maybe it is not with out any reason..." and he smile with a deep knowledge behind that.
My heart will always belong to you, thank you Sensei, thank you for opening me this road.
I belong to you.
What a wonderfull story, more and more beautiful because it is a true story, the story of your life, of your own heart ... Lucie
ReplyDeleteMi s-a zburlit pielea citind. Totul este atat de simplu incat pare extrem de complicat. Esti foarte iubit si norocos ca ai avut ocazia sa auzi si sa simti cuvintele antrenorului tau. Care apropo, pare un om extraordinar. Daca toti oameni ar fi devotati ca voi doi lumea nu ar mai fi ce e azi. Toate la timpul lor, pana la urma poate totul are un rost bine definit pe care mintea umana nu o poate intelege. Si pana nu o sa ne eliberam de ea, lucurile tot de neinteles o sa ne fie. Oricum, ma bucur ca te cunosc, in fiecare moment! Esti o inspiratie si o dovada vie a faptului ca suntem doar iubire si lumina. Multumesc!

Stiu despre cine vorbesti ;) Un om pe care daca il intalnesti o singura data nu il mai uiti. Am discutat putintel cu el si, desi n-am fost de acord cu unele din lucrurile pe care le-a rostit, am fost profund impresionat de cate stia... Si cred ca stiu si de ce stia atatea :)) venea pe strada citind o carte!
