Light of Divinity

The satsangs offer you, you who are wondering whether to take
the leap of faith, a springboard: listen to them and dive headlong.
The Divine holds you in his arms.

All these stories, of innumerable devotees scattered all over the
country, are miracles. But what is a miracle? It is the movement of
faith in hearts. It is first and foremost a miracle of love—and only
then an evidence of the supernatural in our natural affairs. So, the
characters of these stories—Guruji’s innumerable devotees—are
writing of experiences that found them overwhelmed, overawed,
that made them vulnerable and defenceless, that stretched their
faith, that tested their spirit, that showed the chinks in their armour,
that made them strong, courageous, enduring and hopeful. They
are reporting experiences of being carried away by a divine current.
They are talking about the light they saw in the dark night.

These satsangs are our true companions for they carry the Guru’s
word. And adherence to his word is paramount. For the word is the
Guru. The satsangs carry the energy of Guruji; they not only recount how
his divine will saved and nurtured his devotees, they embody that energy
and allow you to savour it and to be benefited by it.

Each of these satsangs speaks of Guruji’s love for his children
and the many pains he took to take care of them. It is time for his
children now to bear his word in mind, to honour it in speech and
deed, and not to besmirch his memory.

The satsangs are the many leaves of the great tree of truth, each
singing its song, each rustling with faith. Enshrined in the satsangs
is the devotees’ love for Guruji and his for them. May it touch your
heart as surely as it has touched theirs.
