drank  his  milk  was  very  much  like  Guruji  had
          his...with  small  sips.  He  spoke  to  my  grandfather  but
          kept  looking  towards  us  and  I  was  convinced  it  was
          Guruji.  I  noticed  the  jeep  had  'Om  Namah  Shivay'
          written on it and the number of the jeep came to a total
          of  7.  Somehow  I  was  convinced  it  was  Guruji  and
          decided to ask him later when I went to Delhi. About a
          month later while sitting with Guruji, I asked him if he
          was  the  one  who  gave  us  darshan  on  Shivratri  day,
          making  sure  I  didn't  give  too  many  details.  To  my
          surprise he said “Yes, I came in a blue jeep.”

               That day I realized that my guru can come to me in
          any  form  and  I  may  not  be  able  to  recognise  him  the
          next  time.  “Guruji,  God  can  come  to  us  in  any  form,
          even as a beggar. We are not always polite to beggars.
          Please tell us how we can save ourselves from making a
          mistake of shunning away God if he ever comes to us in
          such  a  form?”  I  asked  Guruji,  feeling  ashamed  of  the
          number  of  times  I  had  been  rude  to  beggars.  Guruji,
          ever so understandingly replied “Kuch de nai sakde ta
          hath  jod  ke  man  wich  keh  do  ki  maaf  karo.  Je  oh
          asli  sant  howega  ta  samajh  jaayega.” - “If  you  can't
          give anything to a beggar, don't be rude. Just fold your
          hands and say please forgive me, and if it's a saint or
          God,  in  a  beggar's  disguise,  he  will  understand.”  He
          further  added  “Gupt  daan  deya  karo.  Is  tarah  daan
          deyo ki right hand ko pata na chale ki left haath ne
          kya diya hai. Hamesha left hand se daan do kyonki
          left  hand  khulla        daan  karta  hai.  Right  hand
