Blissed to be Blessed, Blessed to be Blissed !

There’s a magician that knows how to make me glow; even when I have been grilled in the day, as much as Mumbai would grill me in 1 month, with just 2 hours of sleep the previous night. There’s a magician who I am smitten by, crazier than you can imagine, in love with!

The magician acts like a genie, and shows up every time I ask Him to appear in front of my eyes, and it’s so frequent that it’s sometimes hard to tell if it’s a dream or truly a reality. The magician manifests the smallest of my desires. Be it a Vada Pav (a snack served in Mumbai,India) craving attack at someone’s house out of the blue, a dream haircut, free or dirt cheap air tickets to anywhere I want to travel, or an invitation to any event I wish to visit, a sudden appearance of a long lost friend I wish to see, or Mexican food in the middle of the night; be it countless rose bouquets, or diamonds; be it lots and lots of chocolates or a loved one I crave to see; be it by helping me save a suicidal person from taking his/her life, to filling their life with happiness in no amount of time; be it raising funds for a good cause, or helping me reach out to people in need of hope or belongingness, there’s too much to be mentioned here, but there’s one thing I am most grateful for. And that is LOVE, INFINITE LOVE.

There’s no end to what my magician can grant, but none of these things overwhelm me as much as HE does!
His love makes my heart melt and when he appears in front of me, my brain goes numb, drowns into a sea of bliss for hours, I see the world blurred, I forget who I am and my smile starts to scare people, and they wonder if I took some drugs!
Well, what do they know? I’m in much deeper trouble than that! I am in Love with this Divinity.

The kind of love that gives you goose-bumps, pumps you with more endorphins than a 100 boxes of Belgian chocolate would, the kind that makes you well up, out of happiness, and you believe yourself to be the luckiest person in the whole world. It’s amazing to be able to feel this way, to be able to love so much that you dissolve into your beloved, and that radiates from every pore of your being.
You don’t feel your body anymore, just the beautiful love/glow/spirit within you. And no, you aren’t hallucinating!
It’s so wonderful, this feeling, that life seems only worth this. It’s the Love, that you must’ve read about in Sufi poetry! The Magician (I am sure you might’ve guessed by now) is the ‘Divine’ being or ‘Divinity’, which teaches us to see Divinity in every atom of this creation.
And I do, trust me. I do see Divinity in every atom of this universe, for hours, sometimes for days, especially after I’ve seen Him in person.

I find the otherwise rude auto-driver amusing; the bumps on the road feel like a joy ride in an amusement park and make me giggle. I look into the sky and blush, when someone’s mean, I bless them and mean it, I can do with just 2-3 hours of sleep in a day, I laugh at ridiculous jokes; and happiness oozes out from every pore of my being – these are some of the side effects of an encounter with my Magician, my Master, my Guru, my Sri Sri !!
Thanks for meeting me twice today, thanks for taking my flowers and blessing me, thanks for your priceless smile and the look in your eyes at seeing me, thanks for every little thing in my magical life; thanks for turning me into ‘Tabetha’ from my once favourite show “I dream of genie” !!
Thanks to the times of infinity, Guruji ! I love you! I love you! I love you!!!

Your crazy devotee
