"WHEN A SAINT LEAVES HIS BODY, THE TEMPLE BECOMES HIS BODY"

Srinatha Raghavan posted the following piece on fb some moments ago.
The Master's Ashram would be buzzing with activity, with hordes of people coming from far off places, just to have a glimpse of the Master.
The Master would seldom give any lectures or talks, but He would simply sit and stare into oblivion. At times He would laugh for no reason or cry like a child missing its Mom. He taught nothing and asked nothing from his followers either. Yet thousands would flock to the Master's abode, like iron filings attracted to the Magnet.
Years later the Master gave up his body and to the surprise of the Ashram authorities, even more people came to the Master's abode, despite his mortal absence. One of the Authorities casually said to another devotee, who was the Master's loyal aide when he was alive, "I don't understand why so many people come here, even after the Master's disappearance?"

The Devotee smiled and inquired, "Do you really think the Master has gone away. Feel the walls and the pathways and every other thing that is, and you'll know that it's infused with the touch of the Master's invisible presence."
The Devotee understood that it's the Master's body that was no more; but the Master's soul was, is and will be an Eternal Presence.
So when you visit a Ascended Master's Earthly abode, know this for sure, that even if you no longer see them with your mortal eyes, they very well see and hear you (and if you're duly prepared, they will communicate with you too).
