Light of Divinity

The Omnipotent Master had let no hurt come to his devotee’s
children. Though her son-in-law’s face had swollen, he had no pain
and there was no internal injury.

Meera was told that at the time of the accident, Guruji kept
walking inside his room. She says he took her son-in-law’s pain
upon himself. And he told her: “I am with you; don’t be afraid.” Meera
says that Guruji had foreseen the accident a month ago during the
chaat excursion and that by merely asking about her family he had
prevented certain disaster.

Queer appearances at a garment shop

Guruji puzzled Meera by showing up at their shop in Karol Bagh.
He came to take away their troubles or to give them something, but
never did he come in the form they so loved. He took money to
take away bad karma and showered prosperity on them. To Meera’s
never-ending consternation, they could never recognize him.

The Kapoors ran their wholesale business from a first-floor shop at
Karol Bagh. One morning, a stranger came in. He offered his visiting
card and said that he wanted some change. Meera, who was sitting
at the shop, said they were wholesale garment dealers and didn’t
keep change. However, Mr. Kapoor decided to help out and sent
one of his employees to a nearby bank with a Rs. 6,400 cheque that
was to be encashed. The man went inside the bank; the employee
waited outside. And he kept on waiting, returning only when the
guard at the bank told him that he had never seen the man go in.
The employee returned to the shop. When he gave out the details,
Meera felt exceedingly foolish that they, experienced business folk,
had been cheated by a stranger. She told Guruji, who said their
problems had been taken away. He even admitted that it was he who
had taken away their money.

Another time, a tall man whose head nearly touched the ceiling,
came and preened inside the shop. He was wearing a rough belt on
his waist. Taking him for a vagabond, Meera asked him to go away.
Her employee said that he looked like Bholenath—the Lord of the
Innocent, a title of Lord Shiva—and Meera deigned to give him two
rupees. She repeated her command that the man go away. He did.
The entry and exit of the stranger went unnoticed by the guard.
