Light of Divinity

Every one had been impressed by Meera’s quick recovery from
her joint problems. The doctor treating her, head of the department
of orthopaedics in Safdurjung hospital, had seen the recovery take
place. She herself suffered from severe joint pains; she found it
difficult to do her rounds. Meera suggested that she go to Guruji.
She did and returned with his blessings.

Soon Meera heard from her. The doctor was calling her up to tell
her that she had just taken a round of a ward without feeling any
pain. The doctor said she was still wondering whether it was she
who had taken the round.

As Meera tuned in to Guruji, she found that her entire family was
getting blessed. Her sister-in-law was among the first ones. She had a
tenacious cold that would usually be accompanied with a migraine.
Even her ears would give off water. Her hearing had already been
damaged. Meera and she went to Guruji together. And the cold
and the migraine vanished; her hearing improved. But, at the same
time, the sister-in-law’s son Ankur was losing his vision. He was only
four years old. The problem was put before Guruji and he gave his
blessings. He asked Meera’s sister-in-law to put honey in Ankur’s
eyes. The mother knew that applying honey to the eyes hurt a lot
and was reluctant. She was prevailed upon and found that Ankur
felt no pain at all when the honey was applied. Guruji told them to
get Ankur’s eyes tested. Sure enough the eyesight had improved by
leaps and bounds.

One who grants God’s darshan

Meera’s brother had retired from the army. A devotee of Shri
Ramakrishna Paramhansa, he used to visit the saints with only
one hope in mind: that they grant him darshan of the Lord. After
Meera had been to Guruji, she called him up and told him about the
Satguru. He willingly came to the sangat. Guruji immediately called
him ‘mama’ (maternal uncle) and asked him to wish for something.
The spiritual aspirant asked for Guruji’s mehar or grace. Guruji again
insisted that he ask for something, and the aspirant revealed his great
desire to see God. Guruji merely said okay. Three days later, Meera’s
brother had a vision at home. His lifelong quest was realized. He had
seen God. At a devotee’s mere request, Guruji was able to grant him
the darshan of the almighty. Who then is he?
