Light of Divinity

I found a repentant Dad at the ICU. He wished he had acted on
Guruji’s message. But Guruji’s grace saw to it that Dad was back
home after staying just a night in the ICU. Dad recuperated in
Haldwani for a week or so, and then we all returned to Gurgaon.
While he was recuperating, Dad had told me that he hoped Guruji
would allow him to spend some time at Bade Mandir.

I was still worried about dad’s blood pressure. It was refusing to
abate. But I needn’t have. We were after all in Guruji’s safe harbour, in
his sharan. Like a kind, protective father, Guruji set about dispelling
our troubles. First, he granted Dad’s unsaid wish to go to the mandir.
Then, my father was asked to bring a copper tumbler, which Guruji
blessed, and he was told to drink water from it. Dad did as he was
told: he went to the mandir, he drank his blessings every day, and he
also had his fill of the langar.

This was contrary to doctor’s advice. Dad was supposed to stick
to a bland, low-salt diet. Guruji’s langar was anything but. My father
was also recommended bed rest. But he became involved in the pre-
Baisakhi preparations at the mandir.

Within three weeks of his arrival in Gurgaon, we were witness to
a miracle. Days after Dad had started drinking water from his magic
tumbler of blessings, there was a dramatic improvement in his
health. His blood pressure eased down .

Not only did Guruji’s blessings bring Dad’s blood pressure down,
they poured water on the doctors’ dear prescriptions, presenting
science once again with the challenge and mystery of faith. For my
father, Guruji’s blessings have proved to be a lifesaver. As for my wife
and me, blessed with his many kindnesses and his love, it is difficult
to express in words all that the heart feels. We can only wish to be at
his lotus feet if he so desires. Forever, our pranams to Guruji.
