Sadguru reads minds…


We all know that even if we do not tell our wish to Sadguru, He Himself understands it and fulfills it. Sharakka* had gotten this Anubhav several times.

Once Gurudev instructed to give the bell for the sitting*. Sharakka was late to go for the sitting. Till then, Gurudev had removed his chappals outside the sitting room and had already gone in. Sharakka thought, “Gurudev does not allow touching his feet, so why shouldn’t I do Namaskara by touching his chappals.” She did just this, and she felt happy.

The next day, Sharakka thought, “Even today I should get to do Namaskara by touching Gurudev’s chappals.” Immediately after the bell for sitting rang, Sharakka rushed towards the sitting room. But Gurudev had not arrived still, he came later. Sharakka thought, “Oh! Why did I come early, if I would have come a little later, I would have gotten to touch Gurudev’s chappals.” After a while, it started raining. Gurudev said, “Oh! My chappals will get wet in the rain. Can someone bring them inside?” Sharakka was sitting just next to the door. She quickly got up and got Gurudev’s chappals inside. She felt very happy.

The next day Sharakka thought, “I got to touch Gurudev’s chappals for two consecutive days. How nice will it be if I could touch his chappals even today!” Sharakka went a little late, after the bell for the sitting was given. But till then Gurudev was already sitting inside the sitting room and his chappals were also not seen outside. Gurudev had removed them inside the room, so that the do not get wet in the rain. Sharakka went and sat for the sitting. After the sitting, Gurudev said, “Can anyone give me the chappals in that window?” Sharakka was sitting exactly below the window, where Gurudev had removed his chappals. She hastily got up and handed over Gurudev’s chappals to him. She was obliged by this blissful experience and overwhelmed by Gurudev’s grace.

Gurudev read Sharakka’s mind and fulfilled her wish, even without she telling it to him. Sadguru understands our spiritual urge that is “Kutasthatil Bhaav”.

|| RAJADHIRAJ SADGURUNATH MAHARAJ KI JAY ||

*Sharakka- One of Gurudev’s very senior disciples
* Sitting- Sittings were spiritual sessions, which Gurudev used to conduct many times. All sadhaks (disciples) used to gather in the sitting room and share their experiences with Gurudev. Padas (devotional songs) were sung to increase bhaav(love towards God). Gurudev would guide the disciples in apt words and continue his meditation all through the sitting.
