Light of Divinity

The next day as I was entering Guruji’s durbar, he coughed in the
same manner. I understood then that it was him who had been in
the house last night.

Knowing Guruji was regularly visiting me in the house,
especially during the golden hours of early morning, I thought of
changing the curtains. As I was doing so, I fell down. My spine
was already injured and now this—that too when I was putting
on new drapes for him. I went to sleep. In a dream, I saw Guruji
had come to my house with two of his devotees. He asked them
to turn off the AC since I had suffered a fall. When I woke up I
found that not only my AC, but my fan had also been turned off.
That’s how caring Guruji can be. When he takes care, he really
does take care.

Yet another day, when I was driving back after participating in the
sangat, a cow reared up in front of my vehicle. I just shouted Guruji
and was miraculously saved. When I reached home, I found that
Guruji had been asking the devotees to keep ringing me up. I spoke
to him over the phone and he asked me how I was.

Once I was coming back from the Shiva temple at Saketri (near
Panchkula), and it had turned quite late at night. The right wheel
of my car got stuck in a culvert. Push the accelerator as I might,
the wheel didn’t budge. I must have been stranded for half an
hour, when I saw a local bus rushing towards my vehicle. I shouted
‘Guruji’ and the car was ejected out of the pit. I was safe and on the
road again.

Guruji takes care of not only my physical but also my emotional
self. I was teaching at a physical education college in Chandigarh.
The teachers, who bore a grouse against the arts faculty, were hostile.
One day I couldn’t take their constant harassment and sat weeping
inside my car. Immediately, Guruji’s essence surrounded me. I
was able to get over my emotional upheaval. A former bureaucrat
Sardar Manmohan Singh had been very helpful to me. But after his
retirement, his brain cells started degenerating. He would often be
soliloquizing and was kept bound inside his house. Since he had
done me a good turn, I wished that he would recover and brought
his problem before Guruji. Guruji asked his wife to bring a copper
tumbler and blessed it. I also brought the former bureaucrat to
Guruji, and Guruji just told him to sleep at night. Surprisingly, he
was able to get a good night’s sleep after ages.
