Light of Divinity

Guruji also left proof of his visit. While the house was being
swept, the couple saw a few gold-like wires glinting in the sun. They
did not know what these were, but kept picking them up from the
house for the next 20 days. These were wires used in the embroidery
on Guruji’s attire.

Narindar decided to go to Guruji and went to Chandigarh on a
Saturday. He told Guruji of his wife’s problem, but Guruji just said:
“You have been blessed.” Narindar was disappointed. He wondered
why the guru had not asked him about his problem or said anything
more. He had not realized till then the full power of Guruji’s
statements: Whatever he says inevitably comes true and even his
casual remark directs the trusting person to safe harbour in times of
trouble.

Narindar then went to Guruji’s birthplace at Dugri. As a memento,
he brought back a brick from the house where Guruji had taken
human avatar. After washing the brick, he kept it at his home shrine,
or puja room. At night, Narindar had a vivid dream. He saw that
the female spirit who was troubling his wife had possessed him.
Through his mouth, she said that she could never have been tamed
but that the single brick placed in Narindar’s house was so powerful
that she could not stay for even a minute and was leaving the house.
The family’s problem was solved—thanks to the holy brick obtained
from Guruji’s birthplace. That single brick was sufficient reply to
Narindar’s sarcastic statement that women could find two gurus
beneath one brick.

Try as he might, Narindar could not remember the details of his
dream sequence clearly the next day. But Guruji removed the last
shreds of doubt. Two-three days later when Narindar went to have
darshan, Guruji told him: “You have been blessed through a brick,
haven’t you?” In his next few, always-sparse sentences, Guruji also
revealed the nature of a true guru: “You don’t have to tell the guru
anything,” He said. “Don’t bring the guru down to that level. The guru
knows and solves your problem himself.” Time and again, Guruji’s
words were proved right.

Guruji liberates Narindar’s daughter...

In January of 1998, Narindar had gone to Dugri to get some dung-
cakes for use during festivities connected with his nephew’s first lohri.
