Light of Divinity

Guruji smiled and signalled that I was not to speak. “I know,” he said.
“Yes,” I thought, “only he knew.”

I went through my pregnancy with ease in spite of my husband’s
absence and gave birth to a boy. I was eager to take the infant to
Guruji, to get him blessed by the one with whose blessings we had
got him. The tradition of not taking the baby out for 40 days stopped
me from doing so.

Finally, at end of 40 days, we took the baby to Guruji. Guruji
smiled and asked me: “Do you want one more son?” I did not answer.
After that on every visit, Guruji repeated the same question. I took it
as a joke and did not answer. I thought: “Who would go through that
medical process, once again, that too with such a small child to look
after?” One day, during our visit, Guruji repeated the same question.
Somehow, I uttered, “As you please.” Within a week, I found I was
pregnant again, this time without any treatment, any medicines, any
medical procedure and with the same defective tubes. It could only
be Guruji’s blessings. I gave birth to another boy.

Both of them are growing up; naughty boys, always up to some
mischief or the other. Not big enough to understand that it is only
because of Guruji that they have come into this world. Medically,
we were undeserving parents. But then, there is somebody, the only
one who can fulfil the desires of human beings, change destinies and
never fail to enthuse devotees with positive hope. Thank you, Guruji,
for letting us into your sangat and changing our lives as nobody else
could have.
