about a weird visitor to our Ashram Hermitage in Kolli Hills

Today, 27th Feb 2011
On the 25th of February 2011, a Frenchman by the name of Pierre (name changed) had requested me to join me and stay in our Hermitage so that he could be taught about my path which he wanted to follow. I Picked him up from the Meridien Hotel in Chennai at 7 am and drove him to our Kudil in Kolli Hills. A seven hour drive from Chennai. However, from the start I had found him rather odd but could not put my finger on the reason why. Was it his shifting eyes? Was it his strange way of talking? Though he kindly offered and paid for our breakfast on the way, he showed a weird way of behaving the next morning by just walking out of the Hermitage to walk the 12 km and back to the Temple Arapaleshwara Swami and the waterfall, skipping his breakfast with us. He just walked away...we a could not care less about the very reason of his stay with us. However, I resigned to the fact that after all, if he wanted to visit the temple and the waterfall, to know about the Hills it is normal.

From that day and upon his return from his walk, he started to behave in a weird manner. He spent most of his time on the Net and according to Ani and Sunny he spent his time working on Financial Sites, obviously working on some share portfolio. He was busy online the whole day. In the night, during our conversations that had nothing to do with Spirituality and which subject was never talked about during his short time with me, he mentioned about his health which had called for a Doctor intervention in France. He never came forward with any details. This made me guess he had some mental issue. My guess was true as what happened the next day will show. 

The Next day he woke up at about 10 am which seemed strange to me as he had woken up at 4 am the previous day despite the long journey we have had. Was it the effect of medicines to quieten his impulses? The whole morning he did not bother to come to me and show his interest in Spirituality. I was wondering why he came here. 

Before lunch, Sunny our Hermitage Manager came to me. He was in a huff and in great annoyance. He informed me that the Frenchman had shown forcefully his displeasure to the fact that the Internet connection in our Hermitage was not working properly and was angry to the fact that he could not 'WORK". He told Sunny he had selected our Kudil because it is mentioned in our website (www.aumnamahshsivaya.org.in) we have Internet. It sounded very strange to us that he was concerned about not being able to do his work. He was not here to work but rather to learn about my spirituality and put it into practice. He showed his anger to our Hermitage Manager who, of course was very irritated by this out of the blue burst of anger of this man. 

The Frenchman decided to leave. I did not hold him back as we did not want to have a repeat of the stay few years earlier of another French person, a woman whom we had learned was taking a treatment for schizophrenia !!!. He had his lunch with us at the end of which I wished him a safe journey and  goodbye...

At the gate of our Kudil, he boarded his buss at 5.30pm on his way down to the plains: Namakkall from where he would board another one to Salem and out by train or bus to Vizakapatnman as this is where he was aiming to go for some Oil/petrol/gaz strange deal....good riddance!  

Why am I plagued with this kind of supposedly "Spiritual Seekers" who come to me on for material benefits. I must be more careful in accepting people to visit me in our Hermitage or anywhere else.
