Ljusbacken consisted of an international gathering of yogis, meditators, therapists, healers and seekers of truth. It was on Ljusbacken that I for the first time came in contact with my path in life: meditation. It was also on Ljusbacken that I meet people for the first time in my 15 year old life, where I on a deep wordless level felt that I meet people, who were on the same path as me. It was the first time that I meet people, who could put words on and confirm my own inner thirst after something that I could only occasionally sense vaguely, like some sort of inner guiding presence, or like a beacon in the distant far out on the open and misty ocean. For the first time in my life, I meet brothers, sisters and friends on the inner path. It was also on Ljusbacken that I meet the mystery called love for the first time in my 15 year old life. With my 15 year old eyes, I watched with wide eyed fascination and fear filled excitement the incomprehensible mystery, which is called woman. My own thirst after truth, together with my inner guiding light, resulted in an early spiritual awakening when I was 15 years old. It led me back to the inner path, which I have already followed for many lives. It led me back to a life lived with vision, with dedication and meaning, and not only a life governed by the endless desires of the ego, a mere vegetating without substance between life and death. It led me to explore the inner journey again, to discover the inner being, the meditative quality within, and to come in intimate contact with the endless and boundless ocean of consciousness, like the drop surrenders to the sea. At the source, the drop and ocean are one.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Swami Dhyan Giten" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/swami-dhyan-giten/when-i-was-15-years-old-i-came-in-contact-with-my-first-ashram-my/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0b1/swami-dhyan-giten-2923_ashram_when-i-was-15-years-old-i-came-in-contac_1060684.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0b1/swami-dhyan-giten-2923_ashram_when-i-was-15-years-old-i-came-in-contac_1060684.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0b1/swami-dhyan-giten-2923_ashram_when-i-was-15-years-old-i-came-in-contac_1060684.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“When I was 15 years old, I came in contact with my first ashram, my first spiritual commune, in the form of…” — Swami Dhyan Giten", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/path-ljusbacken/swami-dhyan-giten/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/path-ljusbacken/swami-dhyan-giten/", "name": "Path Ljusbacken Quotes by Swami Dhyan Giten", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/path-ljusbacken/swami-dhyan-giten/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0b1/swami-dhyan-giten-2923_ashram_when-i-was-15-years-old-i-came-in-contac_1060684.jpg" }, "description": "1 Path Ljusbacken quotes by Swami Dhyan Giten.
