Yes, He is Always Looking After You!

Well, well, well… My Guru story is finally here.

As most of them have experienced His miracle moments, and I did too. There are many such incidents that have happened with me, that have elevated my faith, and here is one among the most amazing moments that I have experienced. I did my YES+ (Youth Empowerment Skills Workshop) in January, 2012, and I was fortunate enough to do my AMC (Advanced Meditation Course) in July, 2012, and also met our beloved darling Guruji. I always got more than what I wished for, and sometimes even without wishing for anything, I was blessed with abundance.

So here goes my experience. After finishing my blissful AMC, I had to visit my uncle’s place in Bangalore. I took a bus from the Ashram to Banshankari (a place in Bangalore). I was new to this place and had absolutely no idea about the routes, and this was the first time I was travelling alone. On reaching the Banshankari bus stop, I got into the wrong bus to reach my destination. I had no idea where I was heading. I was then dropped at the KR market. Again, I was clueless as to where to catch the next bus from. I had a very heavy bag with me because of which, after some time, my hands became numb and painful. And to add to my agony, there was heavy traffic.

So I decided to ask one of the travelers who had come in the same bus as me. I asked him, “Where is the bus stop?”. And I was once again misguided. It was already 6 in the evening, and I was still searching for the bus. By this time I was in tears. I felt as though I had been left all alone in a massive crowd, with no one to care. I walked ahead with a heavy heart and decided to hire an auto. The driver demanded Rs.500, which was far beyond the actual fair, but as I had no other option, I agreed to the same. Just as I was about to sit in the auto, suddenly, an old man in white, came towards me, out of nowhere. He removed my bag from the auto, and looked into my eyes with a Bright smile and said, “Beta, just cross this road and stand, you will safely be taken to your home.” I had no idea about what was happening at that moment. I just listened to that person and crossed the road, and the bus was right there in front of me. I was amused for a moment and turned around.

That man wasn’t there. I boarded the bus, and was thinking about what had happened a couple of minutes back, and suddenly I received a message from one of my AOL friends saying, “When you feel weak, know that I am with you as your strength. You are not alone – SRI SRI”. I just smiled and realized that HE is always there, looking after you. NO MATTER WHAT! This was truly such an amazing and enriching experience for me. Know that the Divine is there with you, at every small step. All I can say is that I’m truly blessed to have Gurudev in my life.

Keep smiling,
JAI GURUDEV!!
