He Sails You Through

This is one incident I can never forget.

I am an astrologer by profession. One day it so happened that, I had gone to meet my client over dinner, to finalize the amount (fees) for the ritual I performed for him during the course of a reality show (a television show). Later when I realized that he was on drugs, I insisted on leaving. He let me leave only on the condition that he would drop me home. I had no other choice at that time, but to give in. My client’s friend was driving the car, he was sitting next to him and I was sitting behind. Just then, my client asked his friend to stop the car, came behind and said that he had booked a suite (room in a hotel) and also tried to misbehave with me. With this, I started screaming and crying. I could not believe that all this was happening with me. I could not understand why he was behaving like that. I was just too frightened to comprehend the situation. All I was worried about was how I would get out of that place and safely reach home. Because of my screaming and crying, my client walked out of the car. Meanwhile, his friend called for an auto so that I could go home by myself. On seeing that, my client stopped the auto and started abusing. That got me terrified.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, I saw a police van, a little ahead on the same road. I promptly asked the auto driver to drive towards the van so that I could take help from the cops. I felt much safer then. On seeing the police van, my client and his friend backed off with fear and I swiftly drove past in the auto. My heart was beating at a supernatural pace. I got peace only on reaching home.

I took a few deep breaths and calmed myself down once I had reached my room. I was too scared to think or do anything else apart from going to sleep, so that my monkey mind wouldn’t wander any further while thinking of how ugly the situation could have turned out to be. So I went to bed in no time. That night, in my dream, Sri Sri hugged me tight and said ‘Om Shanti Shanti’ (mantra for peace). This gave me immense faith. It gave me the courage to move ahead. The dream was no less than a miracle, an indication that He is always there.

Next day evening, I went to the police station to lodge a complaint against my client for misbehaving with me the previous night. The cop, who was also present in the police van that was patrolling where I was last night, said to me that in his 25 years of duty, he had never taken the route that he took the previous night. He would always take a left before coming to that area but yesterday, he said, for some reason, unknown to him, he came that way. It was as though he had been sent, only and only to protect and safeguard me. For me, in my belief, I knew that it was Guruji who had sent that cop for my protection. That was my faith. Even when I was in the tough situation, I subconsciously knew that Sri Sri would never let me down. He proved to me that no matter how bad a situation might seem, if you are right and you have faith then there is nothing to worry. It still brings tears in my eyes when I think of this incident, tears of Gratitude, and not of fear.

Lately, I had my hearing for the case. I had an out of court settlement and got a written apology for the abuses from my client. This was an achievement for me. All thanks to Sri Sri. Love you Guruji.
