He was not, as you might think, a mystical arsonist as he only burned his own huts, which he also built, whenever he moved to another place.

By God’s blessings, quite early on in my practice, I discovered an infinitely profound reward – personal communion with God that is deeper than what I had previously experienced". Angelene Chan, Singapore "By being in silence, saying and listening faithfully to the mantra and not judging, I can sometimes touch that deeper source of peace, love and presence within me. Every moment I am spending with the silence, the silence is also spending with me and doing his lovely work that has to be done. It helps me to be more gentle with myself, to be more present to others and to love more freely. It makes me more human". Anja T’Kindt, Belgium "My introduction to meditation in the Christian tradition in August 2004 was akin to discovering an oasis in a desert. I had been wandering this spiritual desert for more than 20-years but finally I had a place to call home". Vincent Maire, New Zealand "Meditation started out as a way for me to find balance and clarity. By God’s blessings, quite early on in my practice, I discovered an infinitely profound reward – personal communion with God that is deeper than what I had previously experienced". Angelene Chan, Singapore "By being in silence, saying and listening faithfully to the mantra and not judging, I can sometimes touch that deeper source of peace, love and presence within me. Every moment I am spending with the silence, the silence is also spending with me and doing his lovely work that has to be done.
