would have been happier had he sent me some of the
          other stuff too. Little did I know that within a few years
          I would actually meet God in the form of my Guru and
          the  'other  stuff'  would  have  absolutely  no  meaning
          thereafter.

               It was late at night and I switched off the bedside
          light  to  go  off  to  sleep.  I  tried  to  relax  and  tell  myself
          that what happened the night before was probably just
          my  imagination.  I  have  always  had  pictures  of  Guru
          Gobind  Singh  ji  and  Baba  Sri  Chand  ji  in  my  room.
          That night I sent out a silent prayer to both of them to
          protect me. Scared and in anticipation, I waited for it to
          happen again. I waited an hour or so and just as I was
          about  to  fall  asleep,  it  happened. I  felt someone  come
          into my room and sit on my bed. The bed shook and I
          heard and felt the mattress sink. I quickly reached out
          to put on the bedside light but there was no one. I sat
          up  all  night  trying  to  make  sense  of  it  all.  This
          happened every night till the day I met Guruji. Over a
          period  of  time  I stopped  fearing  the  presence  in  the
          room,  in  fact  I  felt  safe  and  protected.  I  soon  realized
          that  my  bedside  table,  that  was  constantly  full  of
          medicines,  had  now  become  empty  as  I  was  enjoying
          good health. Many years later Guruji asked me of this
          presence in my room and told me that it was He himself
          who used to come, sit on my bed and watch over me.

               Ever since childhood I have felt a protection around
          me and my family. Many times we have escaped death
          and severe accidents by merely a few seconds. My life
