Light of Divinity

This was not the first time Guruji had forestalled fate from cutting
short Sunil’s life. Around year 2000, Sunil had been operated on for
an appendix. But, after he went under the knife, Sunil could not
urinate—a serious matter. He also endured agonizing abdominal
pain. Doctors diagnosed that he was not passing urine due to tension
and gave him Valium tablets (of 2 mg dose). They did not help.

When Sunil went to Guruji in Chandigarh, he was made to have
at least 17 cups of tea and two langar meals. As he was readying to
leave, Guruji made him have another cup of tea. Since Sunil was
protesting this rather large intake of fluids, Guruji made him drink it
in front of him and then said he would be okay. Outside and almost
immediately, Sunil urinated—for the next 10 minutes. Since that
day, the appendix problem has not bothered him. Guruji’s blessed
cups of tea did what doctors’ tablets could not.

In 1997, a relative’s daughter, Madhu, fell ill. She had some
nervous problems and her abdomen had been paralyzed. She
was Guruji’s devotee and expressed her desire to have Guruji’s
darshan before going in for medical treatment. She was brought to
Chandigarh and seated outside the hall, near a window from where
she could have his darshan. Madhu cried and prayed that she would
get prasad. Testing her faith, the guru gave her prasad the last. He
also told her parents to get her admitted to the Rajindra Hospital in
Patiala.

Within two weeks there, her condition improved. Madhu returned
from hospital and went for Guruji’s darshan. She still had a bottle
attached to her; Guruji got it removed. The doctors were surprised.
Patients in her ward had shown no improvement, while she was
ready to be discharged in three weeks. The divine healing power
obtained through the darshan had again done its work. Yet another
time Guruji’s grace fell on a relative of Narindar’s. Guruji’s langar
used to come from Malerkotla while he was in Chandigarh. A few
families had been entrusted with the task of preparing the langar
and Narindar’s mami (maternal aunt) ardently wished to send some
chapattis she had made to Guruji.

The day after she had expressed the wish, a crippled beggar came
to her door. He asked her for some food, but she refused. The beggar
then revealingly said: “Last night, you were talking of langar, now you
can’t even give tea.” Narindar’s aunt remained oblivious to the hint;
however, she brought the stranger a cup of tea and two laddoos.
