Everything and Anything is possible, when He is in our lives
On the 27th of October, 2014, I was blessed with the birth of a baby boy, my son. But on the same day, we were informed that the baby’s food canal was blocked, as the baby was not in-taking Milk. Due to this, the Milk was flowing out from his nose and mouth. This was a very grave situation for me and my entire family. We were all shocked as to how such a tragedy could happen to a child who is just one day old on this planet.
But there was no answer to our questions. A feeling of deep helplessness gripped me. Our Doctor advised for surgery, in order to open the baby’s blocked canal, as that was the only option left. The Doctor also told us that this surgery would be risky and critical, and would have 50-50 chances of saving the baby. Being a father, this news shattered me completely. I just did not know how to react, what to do, where to go. And in such times of deep distress, there is only one power that comes to your rescue – Your Faith in the Master! These times are a true test of Faith. And I had full faith when it came to Gurudev. I knew that He would sail me through this storm. All my fear would disappear at the thought of Sri Sri, as where there is Faith, there is no room for Fear. I could feel His presence with me and my family, throughout. Call it inner faith or Divine intervention, something gave me the strength to fight. With that, we gave permission to the Doctor to proceed with the surgery. We prayed for the best, and surrendered the rest! And as a sincere prayer never goes unheard, the surgery was a success. This was a huge miracle in itself:) Then the Doctors told us that we would need to wait for 7 days to see if the baby accepts the Milk or not; and that the child will be kept in the NICU for about ten days. So I requested one of the Nurses to keep Guruji’s picture on my baby’s bed. She agreed and kept Guruji’s picture underneath of the baby’s back. This gave me an added sense of reassurance. Few days passed by, and on the 7th day, the Doctor gave us permission to feed the baby, and to our greatest joy, the baby started accepting the milk! There were only three words that crossed my mind then – Guru, Grace, Gratitude:) I was cent percent sure that this beautiful miracle was only possible with my Masters’ unending Grace. He had been taking care of my child since the beginning. We just needed to have Faith and be patient. Thank you Gurudev. I am indebted to you for life! Presently my baby is doing good. He is now fit and fine! It’s only because of His Grace. Everything and Anything is possible, when He is in our lives. Thank you Gurudev.
