your brains to understand his actions or his words. The following
experience shows that his outer actions are connected to working
out his disciples’ karma—at least that is what he would have us
understand for now. Who knows what he truly does!

Guruji had asked Meera and Mrs. Subberwal to go to Bade Mandir,
a distance of around 20 km from Gurgaon, where they lived. They
were doing so regularly. One evening as they were travelling to the
temple, they noticed Guruji’s white Contessa car parked outside
Bristol Hotel. They rushed over to him. Guruji was in an affable mood
and they pressed their advantage, talking to him for over half an hour
at the spot. Then Guruji expressed a desire to have chaat, and the
sangat was taken to Manesar at Haldiram’s, a popular eating joint.

Guruji chose to rest on the lawns at Haldiram’s. He lay down,
with the sangat making quite a fuss over him. They took out their
handkerchiefs and fanned him; a chunni became his pillow. A doctor,
standing nearby—such is Guruji’s sport—came over to the group.
He wanted to know if the group needed any medical help for the
man lying on the ground did not seem okay. He was assured that
everything was all right and turned away.

Meanwhile, chaat had been brought. As it was being rapidly
consumed, Guruji called Meera. She remembers being questioned
quite closely and in great detail about all her family members. Where
were her daughter and son-in-law? When were they expected back?
She told Guruji that the couple were in Manali and would return soon.
Soon, the excursion was over and everyone went home happy. It was a
month later that the real reason for the Haldiram visit became known.

Meera’s daughter and her son-in-law had an accident while their
new car was at a red light. A truck rammed the vehicle from the rear.
The car was smashed. Meera’s daughter called her mother up and
prayed that she communicate the mishap to Guruji. Meera rushed
to Empire Estate late at night. She found Guruji standing inside the
hall as if waiting for her. She told him that an accident had occurred
and Guruji told her where it had occurred—at a Greater Kailash
roundabout. She told him that her son-in-law was being taken to
AIIMS, when Guruji gently reminded her that they were going to
the Vasant Kunj-based spinal cord injuries centre—as indeed her
daughter had called up to tell her at the last minute. A worried
Meera was slow to realize that it was Guruji who was giving her all
the details of the accident!
