Younger son and I get jobs

My younger son is an engineer engaged in the stock market. One
day, Guruji enquired of his profession and asked him to switch jobs.
He kept looking for a suitable job for the next couple of months, but
to no avail. One day Guruji again enquired about his job and told
him that he will get a job in 15 days. A week or so later, he got an

neither the financial nor the physical strength to do so. But when
the construction started, I realized I had committed a blunder. For
it was not I, but Guruji’s blessings that were entirely responsible for
the construction. Somehow the money required was always available
as and when needed.

Two instances will suffice to illustrate the workings of his grace.
Banks are reluctant to give loans to retired people, but in my case, the
bank manager himself offered me a home loan and it was sanctioned
without any hassles. Second, though we had ancestral property there
were serious differences among my siblings and me. There was no
hope of selling this property. One day when I was in Bade Mandir,
my sister informed me over the phone that all differences had been
resolved, a buyer had been located and that I would get the first
