A love letter to Meera

The couple had been going to Guruji for some time when Meera
noticed that Guruji always addressed her as Mrs. Jauhar even though
he called every other lady auntie. One evening, mulling over the
distinction, outside the darshan hall, she told her husband that she
felt Guruji didn’t love her and that she was not in his favourites’
list. Minutes later, when it was leave-taking time, Guruji extended
an envelope towards Meera, and said: “Meera auntie, love letter.”
The omniscient Guru had read the thoughts of his devotee. By
endearingly calling an invite for an evening concert a ‘love letter’, He
had answered her call. Meera’s doubts melted away in his love.

It dawned on her that a relationship with Guruji was not
dependent on words. It sustained itself through inexpressible love.
She felt that it was not necessary to be with Guruji. He is present
everywhere. That he is the sole giver, wishing nothing from himself.
His horizon is unlimited because he is God. He only wants love and
devotion. His blessings are for everyone.

Sacred satsang at the Jauhars

His omnipotence was on full display when the Jauhars were
honoured to host a satsang at their Gurgaon residence. As Meera
tells it:

“We planned the big occasion in the basement of our house. A day
before the satsang as I was eagerly preparing for the event, I told my
husband that it would be great if the sangat felt Guruji’s presence
during the satsang. Guruji heard me and he fulfilled my wish.

“The satsang was from 5 pm to 7 pm; however, some people
came in at around 4.25 pm. With the arrival of the sangat, we smelt
a whiff of Guruji’s fragrance all over the house. We cheered up. But,
this was just the beginning. Guruji had planned a beautiful and
memorable evening for us.

“A photograph of Guruji’s had been put up at the basement hall.
As we all surrounded it for his darshan, a prominent trishul (trident)
appeared on his forehead. The trishul was three dimensional and
glowing with light. We were wonderstruck. We had been blessed as
God had bestowed his holy presence in our house.
