Light of Divinity

would stay awake till past midnight. On February 20, she went to
sleep immediately and slept soundly throughout. Ever since, she has
been eating and digesting food without discomfort.

In the first week of March, on Maha Shivratri, we visited Bade
Mandir for the first time. Guruji’s blessings, his prasad and langar
took away all her diseases. She felt recharged and energized. A
couple of days later, we were again amazed. We had switched on
the TV, when she said we were playing it at a very high volume. This
was the same person who had difficulty listening to calls due to her
hearing loss.

Eighteen years of agony had ended in 18 days. That is not to say
that Guruji takes or needs time to bless us. He is showering blessings
all the time, but we may not be good recipients. Within a blink of the
Mahapurush’s eyes, creation and destruction take place. Hundreds
of thousands of souls leave their bodies and a similar number enter
new ones. All that we can say is: “Tum Sam Sar Nahin Dayal, Mohe
Sam Sar Papi (Just as no one can equal you in kindness, no one can
compare with me in sinfulness).”

Zipper on my tongue

At the time of my wife’s second surgery, I had kidded her saying
that since doctors always prescribed surgery for her, she might as
well get a zipper inserted in her body. One day while I was narrating
my experiences in the sangat, Guruji prompted me to mention the
‘zipper insertion’—precisely the words I had used in our one-to-one
conversation a decade ago.

Guruji’s omniscience comes to the fore subtly at times. My elder
sister was just having her second darshan when Guruji said she was
a very old disciple of his. I was wondering how this was so, when I
realized that she had been worshiping Lord Shiva from her childhood
and keeping a Monday fast for ages. It was a rare occasion: Guruji
had hinted at his true identity.

Under Guruji’s sharan, life has changed completely. Guruji has
overwritten all astrological predictions and has given my wife a
new and extended life. It seems to me that we are more fortunate
than even Saint Kabir, who once puzzled over whom to bow to
first—Guru or Govind. For us, of course, the Guru is Govind.
