My family and friends thought I was a
Nastik (atheist), and I never bothered to correct them nor did it hurt me to be
called so. One morning, as I walked into his room, he said Lo aagayi nastic here
comes the atheist! for the first time it hurt me to hear that from him but I
kept quiet.
He gave me one long look and then said Nai
nastik nai hai, rab naal naraaz hai. Tenu lagda hai rab dusare loka da hai tera
nai. No, not an atheist, you are angry with god.
You feel that god does for everyone else
but not you. Due to some incidences in my life this is exactly how I had
started to feel, and it gave me some solace to know that Guruji was aware of
the facts. Main har janam wich tera guru siga, tenu ki lageya main tenu is
janam ch chad deyanga I have been your Guru in each of your past lives. Said Guruji
in a veryloving tone, What makes you think I would let you go this time? and
started pressing his feet.
In the few days that I had seen him one
thing was certain not everyone could touch Guruji and if he asked someone to
press his feet, it was considered a great honour. I realized that the more I
pressed; stronger was the fragrance coming from his feet.
Mere dono pairan te padam hai I have
padams in both my feet. said Guruji. At that time I had no idea what a padam
was and neither did I understand the Importance of what he had just told me.
My
mother who was asked to press Guruji hands,
noticed that his hands were turning blue. She immediately pointed it out
thinking maybe something was wrong with him. Guruji why are your hands turning
blue? mom asked, sounding concerned. Asi Shiv I am Shiv, was all he said and
smiled.
