were at my uncle’s place, my maternal aunt’s cousin was also there.
In the evening we went for Guruji’s darshan. After langar, when we
were all sitting around Guruji, he called me and asked me to press
his feet. A few minutes later he asked my maternal aunt’s cousin,
Jaya, also. And then 10 minutes later he said, “Shadi kar lo (get
married).” Marriages are made in heaven—I certainly do not doubt
it. That is how my maternal uncle and I became brothers-in-law—a
fact Guruji is not beyond rubbing in.

I have often heard in satsangs that he knows all your thoughts, but it
is much more than that. All our thoughts are his. How can you think
beyond the fountainhead of all thought? How can you act beyond the
fountainhead of all activity? How can you exist in separation from the
soul of the universe? It is simple: We are, because he is.

The fact, of course, might not be known to us or even
acknowledged, but we all exist due to oneness with him. The few who
are privileged to have his darshan or whom he indulges by letting
them smell his fragrance or by visibly touching their lives are blessed
manifold. I cherish every moment of my life when after smelling his
fragrance I search for a source, only to realize the source is divine.

The miracles attributed to Guruji are ‘miracles’ only because they
are premised to be impossible. I for one have been trying to invest
my faith in Guruji by believing that what I am and what I have (both
thoughts are blasphemous) are Guruji’s will.

Recounting my experiences of Guruji’s blessings is a never-ending
exercise. Since memory cannot go beyond the time of birth, I would
say I have been blessed by Guruji in being born in this world,
being born to my parents, having the set of friends I have, blessed
in having the upbringing that I have had, blessed in picking up a
disease and being cured thereafter, blessed in having met an accident
and having recovered thereafter, blessed in having a wonderful sister
and brother-in-law, a wonderful wife and cute daughter and truly,
truly blessed in having the blessings of Guruji. I bow my head to
Guruji for allowing me to have his darshan in this lifetime and only
wish that he will continue to bless us. I pray that he keeps our entire
family at his feet. Jai Guruji!
