Light of Divinity

I could smell a great fragrance of roses and lavender around Guruji.
People asked me to smell Guruji’s feet and hands—they were oozing
with the fragrance of roses. I touched his feet and my hands were full
of his fragrance. This left me confused. Guruji turned around to me
and said, “Beti, this is amrit (nectar).” At the same time he was healing
people around me and I could see this happening—and every time
he healed a person, he would smile. At the end of the night, I bowed
my head at his lotus feet. And as I lifted my head and gazed soulfully
in his eyes, two rays of light hit me. They were full of stars. I realized
who he was. As a child I always thought the Lord would come to
me as rays of light, and would reach me through his eyes and they
would be full of stars.

As I was leaving for home, Guruji asked me to bring Sheena the next
day. I said it would be difficult as she would not eat. I was also afraid
that people would stare at her, but said I would do as instructed. The
next day I brought Sheena to Guruji. As we approached the divine
entrance to Guruji’s mandir at Sector 33, Sheena left my hand and ran
towards Guruji. She bowed at his lotus feet and said: “Wahe guru.”
My child spoke for the first time. Tears choked me up. Then Guruji
asked me to take Sheena to have langar. I took her to the langar hall
and put a very tiny piece of chapatti in her mouth, which she was
unable to consume. When we returned to Guruji, he asked: “Did she
eat anything?” I said she hadn’t. He said: “You put a small piece in her
mouth.” Since that day, my daughter hasn’t looked back. The last piece
of the jigsaw came in place at the Lord’s doorstep.

An unimaginable Baisakhi harvest

Everyday from then on, in the early hours of the morning, Guruji
would go to the Sukhna lake (in Chandigarh) for a walk. As he set
foot out of his car, all around as far away as you could see, peacocks
would sing at the top of their voices. Guruji would be walking beside
the lake and as he moved, his feet would not touch the ground.

On Baisakhi morning, Guruji took me and a few others in his car
as Guru Sawari. Suddenly, the surroundings changed. Guruji said:
“Sukhi, look who has come! Sukhi, look who has come!” I looked ahead
through the windscreen. There was Guru Nanak Devji and Shivji. I
looked again, and shook myself to make sure Guruji had not put a
spell on me. I know what I saw with Guruji that day.
