A Lifetime of Blessings: My Journey Under Guruji’s Divine Care

My Pranaams at the Lotus Feet of our Great Guruji,

I have been thoroughly blessed to be in contact with Guruji since 1980 when I was around 10 years old. I used to visit Him at Defence Colony, Delhi, along with my uncle. At that time, for me, it was just an outing. I lost my father at a very early age, and when Guruji heard about this, He said that from that day, my brother and I were His responsibilities. And truly, He has kept His word in every possible way.

Reflecting on all these years, I have to accept that Guruji has taken the utmost care of me. He has nurtured me in every dimension—physically, mentally, financially, emotionally, and spiritually. There is not one stone He has left unturned during this period of my growth. To this day, He continues to take care of me, and I am confident that He will continue to do so for as long as I live and even beyond. Guruji protects us at every instance, whether we realize it or not. A significant incident in my life occurred many years ago when my wholesale shop caught fire. I had not yet reached my place of work when I heard the news. I rushed to the spot, which was cordoned off by the police and fire brigade authorities. The building where my shop was located was in flames.

I immediately called our Guru Maharajji. He came online instantly, and I informed Him about the fire. He thought for a moment and said, “Yes, your shop is on fire, but I will see to it that 75 percent of your business is saved.” We were allowed to enter our shop only after three days. When I entered, I found everything reduced to ashes. I remembered Guruji’s words about saving 75% of my business, but at that moment, everything seemed lost. Another two days passed as I salvaged what I could. Suddenly, I found three files quite intact, only a bit wet. When I picked them up, I discovered one file contained unpaid purchases, another had unpaid sales, and the third held post-dated cheques from my customers. I took those files to my friend’s office and opened them. Every bill was intact, only a bit wet. I immediately dried them and soon had the most important details of unpaid bills and cheques intact in my hands. I called Guruji, and He said, “That is what I meant. If you have all your details and records intact, 75% of your business is salvaged.” Thanks to His Grace, whatever I lost in stock and furniture was recovered from the insurance company. Although I was out of my shop for four months, His Grace ensured I didn’t lose anything.

I could go on and on recounting Guruji’s Grace on me and my family. It is amazing how we lose patience when our own children keep asking for things, but our Great Guruji, with unlimited patience, keeps giving and giving. After so many years of utmost care and love from Guruji, I now feel ashamed. What I have learned is that in spirituality, one must love his Guru in a one-way direction, but instead, He loves us in a one-way direction. We, as humans, should sacrifice our lives for Him as He is our Sadguru—the one who shows us the path to the Supreme Lord. Yet, He is sacrificing His life for us. Not only has He taken care of me, but since I got married, He has also taken care of my wife and her entire family. Every member of my family and my wife’s family is being protected, taken care of, and our wishes are being fulfilled at every step.

I wish to share this thought with all my Gurubhais and fellow readers: We must all pray to Him to grace us with the mind and conscience to understand what He wishes from us and start obeying His wishes and His words. I can also say without a doubt that even listening to Him is for our benefit.

This is the quality of a Guru—in whatever form—He only gives and gives. I can say that, by far, our Beloved Guruji is TOTALLY PERFECT in this and every possible aspect.

JAI GURUDEV
