As He IS
This is a wonderful question! The word Swami literally means: the man who has realized himself, who has realized his potentiality. All our difficulty on planet Earth is because we are not able to realize our potentiality. There is a saying that goes: the lion which is not allowed to be a lion will become a fox. If we are not allowed to realize our true potential energy, we will start expressing it in a wrong way - either self-destructive or destroying others. So the creative energy or the potential energy should be allowed to express the way we want to express it. Society should allow it, and we should also know the technique to express. Swami means a man who has realized his potential power, who is expressing himself as he IS - which is being completely in tune with his Being, who is eternally blissful!
