Light of Divinity

incur is unimaginable. For once we are in Guruji’s sharan, we are
sure to receive his blessings. If you go and ask for something, Guruji
will grant the same and that’s it. But if you don’t ask and let Guruji
decide, his grant is assuredly more than what we can conceive of.

Chana cures heart disease

The best way to get the maximum is to abide by Guruji’s instructions.
And it is a tried and tested fact that whenever he instructs something,
all the resources to accomplish the said task are made available by
him.

There have been innumerable occasions where Guruji has
demonstrated this. One of my close friends, S.S. Goel, had a severe
heart attack and was rushed to hospital. As I was leaving for Noida
that night after the sangat, I mentioned this to Guruji. Guruji asked
me to do something immediately, which required some 5¼ kgs of
chana (chickpea).

By the time we left, it was already 1 am of a peak winter night.
Since per Guruji’s instructions, the activity was to be carried out
immediately, I started looking for a general store from where I could
buy the chana. Against all odds, I was relieved to sight a shop still
open, just 10 km on my way back. I went to the shop and asked that
shopkeeper to pack 5¼ kgs of chana. After checking his stock, the
storekeeper told me that he only had 4½ kgs. Though the quantity
was short of what I wanted, something is better than nothing. So I
got it packed and while leaving casually asked the shopkeeper if he
was always open at this time. He told me that he normally closes the
shop by 10.30pm, but today he was reconciling his total stock, an
activity he takes up only once in about three-four months. Though
one might dismiss it as mere coincidence, when coincidences
favouring you occur too often, one stops doubting the source making
them happen.

But we were still short of the required quantity of chana, so we
continued searching. No shop was open. We reached home a bit
disappointed and immediately went ahead to check if some chana
was available at home. A container with chanas revived our hopes.
When we checked the weight, using a small domestic weighing
machine, all of us were amazed to find that it was exactly ¾ kg, just
enough to get the right quantity.
