After I had known Ananda Marga for about two to three years, one day I had a dream. 

In the dream I was in India, standing inside a crowd of people. They wanted to sell me various kinds of perfumes but I was not so attracted by those fragrances. 

Then, suddenly one man appeared and stretched out His hand. He put His hand near my nose and I noticed that there were various wonderful fragrances coming from it. 

I felt He was not an ordinary person. I looked at Him, and it seemed as though the whole universe was flowing out from within Him and again returning back into Him. I then realised that it was Baba and that He was the source of all we have ever longed for. 

Baba took me by the arm and went with me for a walk somewhere. I think we walked for a long time, but I cannot remember what happened. 

Some time later, I saw that I was sitting by a long table with many other people sitting around it, probably for eating. I realised that Baba was not present and I started to cry. 

Then, the person next to me affectionately said: "Yes, He is Baba". I could no more stop crying.

This is how He introduced Himself to me, leaving me amidst tears of love.
