Light of Divinity
these simple yet very powerful words was not apparent to Bakshi,
as it was just his first visit. Guruji then asked Bakshi if he desired
something else as well. The father, with his hands folded, requested
Guruji that the only thing he wanted was relief for his daughter from
the terrible pain she had been enduring since ages. He along with
his daughter sat with the sangat, had prasad and langar. They were
taken to the bus stand and put on the last bus for Dugri, as Guruji
had instructed.
The next day, Mr. Bakshi saw a marked improvement in his
daughter. In a few days, her trouble was a thing of the past. The
Bakshis began frequenting Guruji’s place every weekend. They found
the only cost involved was the bus fare, which was much less than
the doctor’s fees.
Called from home to be blessed
The years passed by. Guruji came to Delhi, and Bakshi and his
daughter started coming to Delhi, too. During one such visit,
Guruji asked his devotee to bring his wife and son, who were still
to have Guruji’s darshan. Considering the travel-related difficulties
and the requirements back home, Bakshi did not obey Guruji and
came with only his daughter on the next trip. Guruji again asked
about the other two members of the family. In spite of Guruji’s
prompting, Bakshi did not bring them to him. Guruji then gave him
an ultimatum: bring the son and wife.
His wife and son managed to come to the sangat. Guruji asked
his wife what she was suffering from and she told him that a
severe backache had been with her since over a decade. Medical
investigations had indicated a flaw in the backbone, nearly
impossible to cure medically. But Guruji laughed it off, saying the
pain was not due to any medical reasons, but had a psychological
origin. Guruji told Bakshi’s wife to get her daughter married and her
backache would disappear.
Guruji also instructed them to visit the sangat every fortnight.
Guruji’s light-hearted mention of the backache led to the pain
disappearing within a couple of visits.
