Light of Divinity
It turned out that Kapoor had been befriended by a fellow passenger
on the bus. The passenger had given him some biscuits and had some
himself, too. The next thing Kapoor knew was the hospital room. The
family was disappointed they had lost a lot of money. But Guruji said
their problems had gone and they shouldn’t worry, he would provide
more. Meera says time has proved that his munificence has exceeded
expectations and met more than their needs.
Miracles on pilgrimages to Guruji
Kapoor, Meera and her mother-in-law were going to Chandigarh to
have Guruji’s darshan. They reached at night and Guruji told them
to return that same night. They left for Delhi at around 2 at night,
apprehensive because of the prevailing terrorism. Their anxiety
increased as the Chandigarh-Ambala stretch of the highway had
been closed and they had to go through Panchkula. It was an eerie
night with not a soul being seen on the dark, unlit road that cut a
swathe through the fields.
Meera prayed hard to Guruji for directions. Her mother-in-law
was mildly caustic, wondering how Guruji could help them out in
the middle of nowhere. Just then two men emerged out of the fields.
They were on a motorcycle and had huge beards. Meera asked her
husband to stop the car so that she could ask them the distance to
the highway. They said it was just 13 km away. Meera protested that
there was no signboard and it was such a lonely road: how could the
highway be only 13 km away? She asked the question again. To her
and her mother-in-law’s fear—the latter was suspecting these men to
be terrorists—one of the men came close to Meera and repeated in a
deep voice that it was indeed 13 km.
Hardly had they travelled more than 200 metres when they came
across a signpost, saying 13 km. And exactly 13 km later, the road
came out in front of Prince Hotel and they were on the highway.
Who had came out of the fields in the dead of night to tell them the
distance to the highway?
Guruji goes to have chaat
Though Guruji’s help can be obvious at times, mostly he works in
mysterious ways his wonders to perform. It is quite futile to cudgel
