Dear Markiji,
You died this month - my friend and teacher. These words are for you - I love you.
I feel a great need to write to you in order to express my gratitude.
Having visited you, studied you work, listened to you, hours, days and weeks without end, I want to believe I know you, and knowing you I am your friend.
Sharing one’s most intimate dreams, the spiritual seeking of a true heart makes me feel familiar to you, having your voice in my ear when riding the bike through town, having you as a companion, dreaming and grasping to the great world that is beyond.
You showed us worlds that without you none of us could have visited, you were our guide, friend, funny companion in life.
I want to express my gratitude, for what you gave to all of us, and I want to speak for all those who have you as their companion as well, who learn from you and listen to you, love you silently, and yet without speaking feel great gratitude for what you have shared.
Your work will outlive you, your passion for this great yoga will inspire generations, it was a great idea to record all your lectures, now they are out there, part of the collective mind, they will feed the hearts of thousands to come.
I thank you, thank you so much!
Here in you are telling me about the journeys of consciousness, thank you, Markiji.
As my friend, I want to share something with you.
Sometimes we all need to suffer, because that suffering, that fear, awakens our endeavor for wisdom, sometimes our suffering is much more than just ours, because it turns into wisdom for everyone else, and in this way, I also want to thank you, that your suffering, not only your joy, became a source for our inspiration, knowledge, and wisdom.
Thank you also for that, Markiji, thank you for that.
We love you – I speak for everyone.
Yours, Clemens
