had forgotten what I had prayed for the day before. After about half
an hour, he asked me if he could leave now. It dawned on me that he
had come only to fulfil my desire.

Twenty-twenty vision at 42

When I was around 42 years of age, I found that my near vision was
getting hazy. I went to Guruji and requested him to cure my eyesight.
He told me that my eye was following nature’s rule. I insisted that he
improve my eyesight.

He smiled and told me to lie down. He flashed a match near my
eyes and then poured some water with a spoon after murmuring
something. Instantly, I started seeing everything crystal clear. He
then told me that his remedy would work for two years; thereafter
nature would take its course. Later, I was posted to Guwahati. One
day, my near vision seemed blurred. I referred to the diary where I
had written down the date when Guruji had cured my eyes—exactly
two years ago.

The speech my kin didn’t give

When I was in Chandimandir, my brother-in-law, who was terrified
of speaking in public, rang us up from Ranchi and requested that we
approach Guruji to cancel his forthcoming lecture to army officers
on electronic warfare. We took his photograph and went to Guruji
at 4 in the morning. As soon as we entered Guruji’s room, he smiled
and said, “Did you get a letter or trunk call from your brother-in-law; the
coward, what does he want?” We narrated the problem. Guruji told us
to sit down and continued to attend to other problems.

Time was passing by, so we requested him to do something. He
just motioned to us to wait. Suddenly at 8.05 am, he asked for the
photo. He brushed his fingers over it and said: “I have transferred the
problem; the lecture will now be given by a non-Hindu.” We came back.
In the evening a trunk call from my brother-in-law confirmed that
the lecture would now be given by a Muslim officer of the army. We
asked him when the decision had been changed. It was at 8.05 am
exactly, he said.
