Light of Divinity

would only take the naam if my mother was cured. He agreed and I
was initiated. But my mother passed away soon after. I was dismayed.
I have been clairvoyant since childhood and often dream of coming
events. Sometimes, I can also hear a divine voice, the akashvani. I
turned to God, asking him whether the baba was God. The divine
voice said he was on the way. We all are on the way, I remember
thinking, and I was his follower no more.

A tree that touched the sky

After I had met Guruji, I again turned to the divine voice. I asked it
who he is. The answer was: he is God himself. After this revelation,
I worshipped Guruji without doubt. Guruji continued showing
me miracles. Using his small photo, I would enter into meditation.
The photograph’s eyes would start blinking and the forehead start
emitting light.

Again I turned inward and prayed to God to find out who he is
and what my ultimate aim in life was. When I came to the sangat
after praying, Guruji was enthroned on his seat. Light came forth
from his feet, went around the green carpet laid out on the floor,
touched me and went back to him again. I felt my question had
been answered. He was the beginning, the middle and the end of
all, and of my quest. We begin from him and end in him. In the
Kal Yuga, God comes in a human form to salvage the good souls.
He has come.

I now think that I had lost faith in God and was directed to Guruji
for the restoration of my faith and the fulfilment of my ultimate
purpose. And the Satguru had mercy on me. I had nearly touched
the shores of death; he brought me back. Guruji has made me realize
my purpose after I lost my path.

It is only on earth that one can get moksha; in swarga, or heaven,
one only reaps the benefits of good deeds. Moksha comes through
the blessings of the guru (as the Sanskrit mantra has it: mokshamulam
gururkripa, i.e., the root of liberation is the guru’s grace). As the Guru
Granth Sahib says in the Jap Sahib: Ja so chanda uge, suraj chade hajar,
ete charan hunday, guru bin ghor andhyaar (Though a hundred moons
and a thousand suns may rise, without the guru there is unending
darkness).
