“I felt complete terror. I thought, ‘There’s a very good chance that in the next five minutes, I’m going to die a very difficult and painful death. It was terrifying. Then, I remembered Maharaj-ji. I remembered there’s nothing I can do about this. I just surrendered into love, and I went into this bliss state. I had never felt any closer to God than in that moment.” – RamDev
