Housed in belief

FIRST-TIMERS can be like novice swimmers. They want to see
someone else cross the ocean, before they do it themselves. But
even they, with their stock of ifs and buts, are helped in developing
understanding and faith.

Mr. Sachin Pahwa, who had listened to a satsang, was not willing
to accept Guruji’s grace. He devised his own litmus test for Guruji: he
wished to get a bungalow built in Sainik Farms, where construction
had been banned for years together and a police posse manned the
access gates. And he wished to get it built in spite of the fact that he
didn’t have the required funds. But against all odds, the bungalow
got constructed. Debtors who were not willing to pay back came to
his doorstep to give him his dues. Within no time, Sachin was on his
knees before Guruji.

Sachin had been engaged for two years. The marriage was being
delayed for a smattering of reasons: lack of funds and some family
concerns. He went to Guruji and prayed. Within two months, he
got married in what was a grand affair. Sachin’s wishes were granted
without him ever uttering a word to Guruji. This is Guruji’s mehar,
this is his grace.

–Satsang, as narrated, of Sachin Pahwa
