headaches. Guruji rubbished this interpretation, telling Nassar that
there was nothing wrong with her and that she had conceived.

  His words came true as two months after the excursion Nassar
sent a message around the time of Guruji’s birthday—which falls
on 7 July—that doctors had confirmed his wife’s pregnancy. Fifteen
years of infertility had been dismissed at the Mahapurush’s very first
darshan. In February 2003, Nassar was blessed with a boy and came
on Shivratri to thank Guruji and seek a name for his son. Guruji
named the boy Murad, signifying the fulfilment of a wish.

Train journey provides a ticket to health

I was commanding one of the elite commando units of the National
Security Guards (NSG) at Manesar (around 40 km from Delhi).
Guruji was in Chandigarh in December of 1996 and I got his
message to come to Chandigarh for two-three days. I took casual
leave and left. At that time, I was suffering from spondylitis and used
to have severe pain on the entire right arm, with my right thumb
often getting numb.

  I reached Chandigarh and stayed there for two days with Guruji,
deciding to return by bus to Delhi on Sunday after taking Guruji’s
permission. The nod was given, but I was told to go by train. I was

cold could be biting.

  An officer dropped me at the Chandigarh railway station and I

I boarded the train at 2.30 at night and fell asleep immediately. I got
up when the train reached New Delhi at a chilly 7.30 in the morning.
I had been expecting to endure agonizing pain, but there was none.
It has been more than a decade since that day and my spondylitis
and its pain has never re-appeared.

  It is worth noting that I never mentioned this problem to Guruji
nor did he ever say anything to me. I had merely obeyed the Satguru’s
word or hukm, which signifies the divine will, and the problem had
gone away.

  The Satguru’s divine will, so often benign, can also make a mockery
of modern scientific notions of healing. I had been diagnosed with
diabetes in 1995 and my sugar level and blood pressure were
