He always Listens
This is one of the
closest to my heart. So many times Guruji has fulfilled my wishes. It was
almost five months that my baby was born and I wanted to take him to the ashram
to meet Guruji and take his blessings for my baby.
We reached Bangalore by
our own car and did not know anything about the city, finding our own way to
the ashram, we were (me, my husband and my baby) totally on our own. We got the
idea to use the GPS that was there on one of our mobile phones and I started to
fiddle with it in hope that we could reach the ashram in time before Guruji
leaves from the satsang. It was already 6:20 PM and we were just at the
opposite side of Bangalore. I have no idea from where I got the skills to
understand the GPS quickly as it was my first time on it and then I figured out
the most traffic less routes and guided my husband chanting "left, right,
straight, left.... And so on... " . Time was running and we were trying to
just reach in time. I prayed to Guruji that may we reach there by 7:00 PM. It
was already 6:45 and we were still not on the kanakpura road. I started feeling
sad and helpless. I prayed again. After sometime we reach the beginning of the
kanakpura road and were looking for directions.
We reached the gate sharp
at 7:00 PM. It was raining then so we were allowed to take the car till the VM.
My husband dropped us and went to park. I hurried my way upto the steps and it
was just 5 minutes that I entered, the satsang was over. May be I was not aware
of the correct timings but I was just in time. GURUJI stood up and waved, I
quickly walked faster to catch him near the door but as soon as I reached there
he was gone. Then I ran again to catch him but he was all surrounded by so many
devotees and there were tall volunteers who were making way for him to walk. It
was really difficult to walk past them. I gave a third attempt and ran again
and this time I was close but failed. I realized that this way I cannot make
it. Suddenly one person came and told me to take the steps down and goto the
ramp, where Guruji will finally reach. I started again and it was slippery and
raining, he came from my back and said walk faster but be careful. I quickly
walked and reach the ramp before Guruji was there. There I met Bhanu didi in
the car and requested her to bless my baby. Now I was pretty close, I called
"Guruji" many times but no luck he did not hear and then those
tall guys again ace in my way. It felt that he was listening but playing
around. I started shouting feebly and then strongly as if I was going to lose
something. I was feeling awkward to shout and after many attempts i gained a
louder pitch. Within no time Guruji sat in his car and the door got closed. It
was over. So many people were turning and looking at me while I was feebly
shouting in my soft voice. I was disheartened, my heart broke, and there were
tears in my eyes, with my baby in my arms, standing near the car window, I was
broken and was shocked and speechless.
But to my utter surprise
Guruji whirled the glass down. I took a step forward and softly said
"Guruji" and waited sadly if he heard me, Guruji came towards the
window looked at me and my baby in surprise and gave a rose indicating that
this is for the baby. I was so happy and fulfilled. It was very unique. I
smiled in gratitude. I love the rose. It is so special! Always remember he is
besides you quietly listening to your wishes and prayers.
May the joy dawn in your
lives!
Jai Guru Dev!
