Mario, a Spanish man from Miami is speaking about how he heard about Maharaji, and the Keys, which he finished watching in December, when he received Knowledge. Mario's speech is below. Amazing - he heard about Maharaji many many years ago, but felt the timing wast not right, and now, well you can read his story below.
My name is Mario. I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I have lived in Miami for 15 years.
I received Knowledge on the 18th of December, 2005 through the Keys.
In 1978 in Argentina, I was planning a trip around the world-the Middle East and Europe, the world-- to study philosophy, theology and the history of civilizations, hoping that the experiences of the past and its thinkers would help me find my own path.
I first heard about Maharaji in Argentina through my sister and some friends. At that time people were propagating Knowledge in South America. But I didn't pay much attention.
I continued my search- Sometimes looking in religion, sometimes not. Sometimes looking for a prophet, sometimes not. Sometimes in temples, sometimes not. Always looking for answers to questions already asked, but not listening to my own heart. My
dissatisfaction was always present. As you can see, I was confused.
In summer 2004, a friend of mine named Eduardo, told me that each path that we take, whether you make one or many stops, takes you to where you want to go.
While at work, he showed me a video of Maharaji, which I watched attentively. He watched me watching, and told me he was touched by the expression of my heart shining through my eyes.
We never know about the bends and turns life takes. In 1978, Eduardo received Knowledge in Buenos Aires at the same time I had first heard about Maharaji, but didn't pay attention.
In July 2005, I started watching the Keys with the conviction of listening to Maharaji with my heart, and giving myself a chance of giving and receiving. I watched each one of the Keys slowly, taking the necessary time to allow them to grow inside of me.
When I received Knowledge, I made a commitment to give myself the time and the space needed for this re-birth in my life, showing me that I am never alone.
Through this journey I'm on, I've learned a few things about myself- I've learned that life is more than words. I've learned that I have a lot to learn. And I've learned that a good teacher is the one that shows me, and at the same time, holds up the mirror for me to see myself.
I know that I can make significant changes, and I'm already starting with myself.
Thank you, Maharaji, for allowing me to know that I can do it.
Thank you very much.
