My favorite Guru Story

This is not a very recent experience but it’s my favorite Guru Story so thought to share it. One fortunate day, I rushed from the office to the airport to see off Guruji but he had already entered the gate when I reached so I just leaned on the glass wall waiting for his last glimpse.

 

I could already feel his presence so strong and intense and as I stopped to look at him, he turned & waved at me and the time froze there and then. I knew that he turned just for me and he started walking, I walked with him. After a few steps, he turned again and to my surprise, he moved towards the exit door and came out. He came out for me, that’s all I know and we walked amidst others. I wasn’t walking just next to Guruji but I could see him all the time and keenly observing him throughout. Guruji looked towards me, pampered me and patted my cheeks. The moment froze and I couldn’t believe all of it while the rest is inexpressible. The way Guruji loves me, only he can do that as he has accepted me the way I am. “It’s one thing to take a rose and force its petals open, but it’s another thing to wait for it to blossom by itself and Guruji do that.” His love is unconditional and it is true that in his presence you grow by leaps and bounds for you can experience your existence is love when he is around.
