shooting up to high levels. This was an area of professional concern
for me for the army demanded high levels of fitness.

I approached Guruji with the problem and Guruji blessed a
copper tumbler from which I drank water daily. I was also directed
to get tests done afresh after a week. During this week, I had my fill
of prasad, which was as usual lots of sweets—poison for diabetics.
Yet, a week later, the tests were astonishing: every parameter used to
check the blood was within the normal limit and my blood pressure
was as healthy as a young man’s. Thus, even after eating the huge

normal level.

That is because, the langar and prasad given at Guruji’s contain
amrit, which cures and relieves every ailment. One only needs to
accept and consume it with faith or shraddha. It is only when the
disciple surrenders and hands himself over to the Satguru then,
and only then, does he experience the effect of divinity on his life.
There are many ways in which Guruji showers his blessings upon
devotees. Often, what Guruji orders may appear weird, but the
secret of making the best of it is to accept and act as directed: that is
what surrender is.

dust and even the leaves of the surrounding trees were brushed up.
The tree trunks and the brick-lining bordering the approach road
to the unit got a paint of geru (terracotta). The entire unit was ready
for the inspection and hoping to get a shabash (‘well done’) from the
director general.

On D Day, I was driving up from Delhi to Manesar at 7 in the
morning. It started raining. Then, it turned torrential. By the time I
neared Manesar, I could not help but be dejected. All the labour the
unit boys had put in would get washed away. I prayed to Guruji that
this not happen. I was amazed as I entered the unit gate. The unit
grounds showed no signs of rain. The staff told me that it was raining
everywhere—but not on the unit. As for the inspection, it exceeded
expectations. The director general said the unit was an example for
