SARMATIAN DE CASPIANYA « BEZZARI – OUR DIVINE BAMBINO BOY »<br />

"Not to-day. I would say, though, that `There shall be no sun by day, neither moon by night, for<br />

God shall be their light.' "<br />

Out of respect for him we put out the lights,<br />

and did not start the censer.<br />

"This is more than the Saints of God on earth would do for you," he said in an appreciative tone.<br />

"We would not expect them to," we responded.<br />

"Neither did I expect it of you, but you did it just the same, for you read the heart and mind, not<br />

catering to the senses."<br />

And together we recited:<br />

"Open, O thou world-sustaining sun, the entrance unto Truth<br />

Hidden by the vase of dazzling light,<br />

Soften the radiations of Thy illuminating splendours that<br />

I may behold thy true being.<br />

From the unreal lead me to the real,<br />

and unveil the magic illusions of the phenomenal worlds,<br />

That I may see the path unto Realization, AMEN."<br />

"In this prayer there is song, sermon and service," he said, smiling and radiating like a<br />

sunbeam.<br />

"<strong>Bambino</strong>, you should have been born among millennialists or non-resistants, you would have<br />

found greater appreciation and admiration there than among the orthodox."<br />

"Impoliteness would return to you the compliment. Have I not found the greatest friend? What<br />

more can I ask beside? One true friend to admire, appreciate, and love is quite sufficient. And<br />

that friend gone from us – we still have one in whom we can confide – God!"<br />

After some silence, he said: "Many friends mean many sorrows. They are like terrestrial<br />

possessions, when neglected they grow up into weeds, inviting many insects, pests, vermin,<br />

and destroyers."<br />

We were not in a communicative mood, consequently decided to say no more.<br />

It being fast-day, free from table-setting, there was nothing more to do but to retire for the night;<br />

<strong>Bambino</strong> working on some models, using the greatest care not to make the slightest noise.<br />

When he walked you would not have known it, we could never hear his steps; when speaking, it<br />

was always in a whisper or very soft voice.<br />

Early next morning we went out into the open, and oh, how he enjoyed the singing of the birds,<br />

although a cricket was no less interesting to him, while the hopping of a frog would delight him,<br />

so much so, that we were always happy to spy one for him, as it gave us joy to see him enjoy<br />

himself, as far as enjoyment went.<br />

It being silent Saturday, we again fasted; and after midnight we took a Calvary walk into the<br />

country, taking our dip in the rolling waters, emblematic of rebaptism; this took place at about<br />

three in the morning of Easter Sunday.<br />

This was to his liking. He loved the water. Yet we would always draw a line there, and even<br />

when he showed great desire for boat-rides we would either go along or send a servant with<br />

him. We did not know why, but omens and forebodings which we could not overcome, would<br />

take possession of us. At times we felt it was weakness on our part, and saw the great<br />

contradiction of mind in matter, when aware of the fact that <strong>Bambino</strong> was no ordinary child, and<br />

was a protection to us rather than a charge.<br />

XIV<br />

RESURRECTION DAY proved a day of great delight to both of us. As he would not eat<br />

anything, but simply take a cup of hot water with a little sugar, we decided for a drive.<br />
