He Is Always With You

Jai Gurudev

I am a Homeopathic student. I did my Part 1 Art of Living course during my semester break. After doing the course and becoming a part of the AOL family, I became crazy about Gurudev. Every day, I kept talking about Him, listening to His Bhajans (Devotional Songs), reading about Him, practicing the knowledge points. I started living my life in the Guru consciousness and I was loving it.

And with all this, time flew real fast and then came the day when I had to go back to my college as my 3 month semester break was over. I had to travel about 350 km from my hometown to my college area. I decided to go by bus and the ticket was also booked. I then started packing my things and my bag was getting heavier and heavier. On the day of the travel, I arrived at the bus station after a six hour road journey. Only then did I realize that I had to climb up a fleet of stairs in order to take a taxi which would drop me to my hostel. This was not going to be an easy task as the stairway was massive and my bag was also extremely heavy. It seemed close to impossible for me to carry my bag all the way up. But I did not have much of a choice as I did not know anybody around from whom I could ask for help. So I decided to take the first step. But just as I did that, I fell flat on the floor as the weight of the bag was just too much for me to handle single handedly. I had no idea as to what I should be doing next. I felt just so helpless at that time.

The only thought that came to my mind was of the Master. I was thinking to myself, “Will Guruji come and help me to carry this bag?” The moment I concluded this thought, a man, wearing a white shirt and white pants, came near me and said “Come, I will help you carry this bag .” I was shocked. I was blank. I just couldn’t react. Was I dreaming? Or had that really happened? Had Guruji truly heard my little prayer? Yes. Guruji was right there, with me, in the form of a stranger, who came to help me carry the bag. Wow! What Grace!
The man carried the bag for me all the way up the stairs, and dropped me to a taxi which would then take me to my hostel. While leaving, he looked into my eyes and gave me a smile. His smile carried a lot of depth and meaning. It was as though Gurudev was telling me through his eyes “I am with you always”. I was on top of the world at that moment. It was such an unforgettable moment.

It is so beautiful to know that even if our wishes are so small and petty, our Guru takes care of them. I consider myself and all of us on this Path very very Luck that we have a Living Master to Guide us and Help us with every difficulty, small or big, we are all taken care of. We have to just take one step towards Him and He will take ten steps towards us.

Until now, each and every day, He is showing me that He is always with me, in some way or the other. I feel so lucky to have Gurudev in my life.
