my nephew to the US Embassy for a visa, saying he will get it. To
our surprise, when my nephew went to the embassy he was not
burdened with queries by the visa counsellor. While other doctors
were interviewed for 45—50 minutes and then denied a visa, my
nephew got the visa without trouble. Today, my nephew is happily
married and settled in the US with Guruji’s blessings.

We are not denied our party

A very senior income-tax officer, a friend, used to go to Guruji with
me. Once on a Friday evening, Guruji told both of us to come again
the next day. On that Saturday we had planned to attend a stag
drinks-and-dinner party. In the afternoon, I was cribbing that our
party had been spoiled because we had to go and visit Guruji. On
that Saturday, after ten o’ clock when the langar was over, Guruji
told us to stay back along with a few more people.

Half an hour later, Guruji told us to come with him to the house
of one of his devotees, a senior customs officer, to celebrate his
promotion. When we reached the devotee’s house, we were offered
drinks. My friend and I were hesitant to take these in Guruji’s
presence. Guruji looked into my eye and told me that I was cribbing
in the day about him spoiling my party. He added that the drinks
were here and we should enjoy ourselves and drink as much as we
wanted. With tears in my eyes, I fell on Guruji’s feet and could not
utter a word. I could only say: “Guruji, aap antaryaami ho (you are
omnipresent).”

My driver gets darshan

My driver is of a religious bent of mind and once I wanted him
to come inside the sangat hall and have Guruji’s darshan. He was
hesitant, not wishing to be in the company of well-to-do people.
After the satsang, I went to the airport to see off somebody. At 2 am,
as my car was coming out of the international airport’s main road, I
saw Guruji with a few devotees. I told my driver Suresh to stop the
car and we both went and touched his feet. Guruji smiled at me and
told me that since I had wanted him to give darshan to my driver, he
had come to the airport. I was left with no words to thank him.
