to make a few chapattis and I saw that each and every
          chapatti  had  a  sign.  I  picked  up  chapattis  at  random
          and  could  not  find  even  one  that  did  not  have  those
          signs.

               One  day  a  lady  requested  Guruji  to  allow  her  to
          make  langar,  to  which  he  said  “Aunty  tenu  hale  25

          saal  hor  lagan  ge  mere  langar  wich  kam  karan  nu.
          Har koi mere langar wich kam nai kar sakda” - It will
          take you another 25 years to be ready to take on this
          sewa. Not all are allowed to prepare langar.
               Since we used to prepare the langar, we were aware
          of  the  amount  of  chapattis  made  and  could  roughly
          guess the number of sangat that had visited Guruji on
          that  particular  day.  One  day  after  langar  was  served;
          Guruji  sat  down  next  to  me  and  said  that  a  certain
          number of people had visited the temple to eat langar.
          The  number  was  much  higher  than  the  chapattis  we

          had  made  that  day  and  my  mind  made  some  foolish
          calculations. 'That's not possible Guruji, we didn't have
          that  many  chapattis.”  The  moment  I  uttered  these
          words I realized I had made the mistake of doubting my
          guru. I quickly apologized and kept quiet. “Thaanu ki
          lagda  hai  sirf  tusi  hi  aithe  langar  khaa  ke  jaande
          ho?  Thaanu  ki  pata  tuhade  naal  kaun  kaun  langar
          khaa ke janda hai. Tusi log ta langar di keemat hi
          nai  jaande  ho.  Utte  ta  rishi  muni  tarasde  han  is
          langar da ek niwaala khan waste. Mere hukam naal
          oh  bhi  langar  chak  ke  jaande  han.  Jadon  main
          kehenda haan ki inne loga ne langar chakeya hai, us
