His remark was more an instruction than a casual comment. I realized the vast difference between him and the young Bauls who we had met the previous week. The Bengalis were really a group of performers who were playing the Eastern spirituality card as a way of coming to America and becoming famous. To the American public they were as unusual as our swami was, but I didn’t think they were driven by a desire to present genuine Vaishnava philosophy. I suddenly realized how America’s current interest in spirituality left people wide open to be exploited by those offering some flavor of Eastern culture with a personal motive attached – be that fame, power or wealth. I knew from my own observation of our swami that he was not after any of these things; he was driven by a desire to fulfill the wishes of his spiritual master, and I felt immensely grateful to have found him in the great mystical melting pot that was America’s alternative culture.
