other units. But, as soon as the DG left, it started raining in my unit
as well. The divine hand was evident.

A devotee’s sincere prayer had been enough to bring forth Guruji’s
grace. I felt as if a divine protective umbrella had been placed over
the unit while it rained hard everywhere else. In the evening, when I
went to Empire Estate, Guruji remarked on the event, testifying that
it was he who had kept the rain from spoiling the show. Guruji takes
care of me and my family in every way—as this incident shows. I
have no words to thank the One who is above all.

Weight gain through faith

My wife used to be a little thin and try as she might she could not
put on weight. In fact, she had not gained weight even when she was
with child. Guruji, however, used to repeatedly tell her that he had
increased her weight by five to ten kilos. The family could not notice
any change in her weight initially. But, after some time she started
getting a wholesome rounded-ness to her figure. So much so that
her youngest son started calling her motoo, or fatso.

Even in this brief working of Guruji’s will, it was evident that
Guruji has his own ways, methods and time frames to regulate the
life-cycle of an individual. As human beings, our vision is myopic.
We worry about the near future and about small worldly things.
The Omniscient Guru looks beyond the shadow of the past, the
narrow present, and the unimaginable future. When he grants us
something, it is within the context of a cosmic and not merely an
individual perspective. That is why one should develop an attitude
of unquestioning surrender towards him. He should put him in the
place of his father, mother, beloved and friend and with the distilled
essence of his love throw himself at the Satguru’s feet.

It is of paramount importance that the disciple does all the tasks the
Satguru assigns to him. The results of the deeds, however, should be
left to the Satguru. For the Satguru, the only truly illumined person,
alone knows what is best for the disciple. And his compassion knows
no bounds, extending equally to the disciples as to their near and
dear ones. I feel Guruji is like Lord Shiva, who drank up the poison
that came out when the ocean was being churned for its treasures
by the gods and the demons. Guruji also drains the poison from his
disciples’ lives.
