he saw any illness coming to you and would cure you
without even telling you. Many times travelling alone
and late at night, we have felt Guruji's presence with us
right up to our doorstep.

The following parable will illustrate the protective
shield of a guru. A King, who was hunting, suddenly
decided to visit his Guru in the forest. Unfortunately,
he was thrown off his horse and it bolted, leaving him
alone in the forest. With great difficulty he reached his
Guru's ashram, all bruised and in a bad state. He
asked his Guru why he had to suffer such a fate when
all he wanted was to visit the Guru. The Guru just
smiled and told him that he would get his answer when
he reached home. On reaching his kingdom the next
day, the King came to know that he had escaped an
attempt on his life. The servant, who decided to sleep
on the King's cot in his absence, was beheaded by an
enemy soldier, who mistook him to be the King. The
Guru's grace had made the King want to visit his Guru
and thus protected him.

Always have faith in your guru. Even though at that
moment you may feel nothing is making sense, but
remember, everything a guru says or does has a
purpose. And the purpose is the benefit of his disciple.
