clothes. Guruji had responded to Narindar’s doubts. Narindar says
he knows everything about your life, what you have done, what you
think.

In Nainital, Guruji asked Narindar to go for a post-graduate
diploma/degree. Narindar said it was not possible for him to start
studying after a decade’s gap. Guruji again told him to enrol for the
degree. Narindar entered a diploma course, but was not sure whether
he would pass. During the examination, he asked Guruji to write the
answers. He cleared the diploma in two years with the blessings of
Guruji and hastened to give Guruji the news. Guruji wondered why
Narindar was going to the trouble of telling him—after all, he said, it
was he who had given the papers and cleared the exams! Thanks to
Guruji, Narindar begun studying for the MBA.

Everyone is blessed

Guruji takes you under his refuge as you are. The past does not
matter before the Satguru. He requires no pious ejaculations of
faith; an honest self-examination would serve better. For the Guru
is the last person to be deluded. The Satguru does not distinguish
among men, between the virtuous and the sinful, the good and the
wicked, leave alone the poor and the rich. His protective umbrella
covers your family, friends, and relatives. But to be truly in tune with
the Satguru, to be one with him in spirit no matter where you are
requires that the disciple disarm his ego and surrender himself. Then
the Guru charts the disciple’s course over the stormy waters of life
himself. He saves the disciple from the malicious currents of his bad
karma in the way he deems fit.

Narindar’s brother, Sunil, was also an avid devotee of Lord Shiva
and had gone to Amarnath on a pilgrimage with Narindar before. He
made another pilgrimage to Amarnath in June of 2005. There was
a landslide and their bus was trapped on a sliver of land edged by
deep ravines. Sunil remembered Guruji, took out his photo, poured
water over it and scattered the holy water in the direction from
where the landslide was hurtling down. The rocks stopped falling;
all lives were saved.

Later, when Sunil came to pay obeisance to Guruji in New Delhi,
the master said: “Tell the sangat the latest (experience). Didn’t I have to
save everybody to save your life?”
