Light of Divinity

By night, her hand was paining a great deal and had swollen. In
another four days, the left limb was paralysed. Doctors started her on
medicines and enjoined her to do exercises. Narindar was stationed
at Jalandhar. He came to know of the paralysis afflicting his wife and
wanted to go home.

But his wife phoned him up and told him not to worry. As usual,
Guruji had taken care of things. She related that she had been
making her complaints known to Guruji before his photograph.
Those under his refuge are immune to all grief, she had protested,
why was she suffering? Hardly had she addressed her complaint that

he an old sangat member nor among the rich, so Guruji might not
invite them. He was soon to find out how wrong he was. In Guruji’s
sangat, no distinctions are observed and before him and his regal
majesty all are poor. He is the sole giver, the rest, no matter what
their worldly status, are beggars.

Within two or three days, Guruji asked Narindar to come to Delhi
for urgent work. When he reached Delhi and had had langar, Guruji
invited him to the Nainital trip. When Narindar returned, he told his
wife that Guruji had out of mere formality asked them and he would
not remember their names. But three days before the trip, Guruji
called him and invited him, instructing him to take along woollen
