Chapter 26: Even a blade of grass cannot move..

Without Guru’s intention even a blade of grass cannot move, the joys and sorrows that come in our lives will be on his direction. Even the sorrows and difficulties of life also come for a good reason.

A couple residing in a town near Chickmaglur summed up their experience like this..

“We were totally engrossed in our day-to-day life, we went expecting to get a quick remedy for our immediate problem, what we got instead was a reassurance lasting many lives and an affection that rose over the barriers caste, creed and social status.

The couple who were a frequent visitor to Gurunatha’s residence was quite reserved. Recently, I had an opportunity to meet and discuss a few of their experiences. Their simplicity and openness to others still stood out. They started saying.. “From the day we met Gurunatha till date we have not looked elsewhere for help and we have not strayed from the path shown by Guru”.

When probed about their first meeting with Gurunatha they started like this.. “The reason that made us see Gurunatha was our debt trap. Still worse the debts we got into were in trying to help others. But, this problem gave us Guru’s compassion. We came to hear that someone in Sakharaya Patna is good at astrology and we came and stood at Gurunatha’s door. Out of our ignorance..we called out “Is there an astrologer here..?”

Guru’s words came from inside..”Who is that? Please come inside”

When we entered the house, the house was jam packed with devotees though hesitant to discuss our situation in front of everyone, not wanting to go against his words, we explained our problem and requested him to save us. He got two betel leaves, gave us some sugar along with those betel leaves reassured and sent us back.

From that day, our problems miraculously started getting resolved by themselves. Along with this without our knowledge some of our imperfections were also set right and our life changed its course for better.

Remedy for a particular problem can be found in many places perhaps but just by a mere look changing someone’s life’s course without expecting anything in return spreading happiness.. such a power and quality shall only exist in a Sadguru and we found that in our Gurunatha.

Today, though we feel this void of not having him physically around, we remind ourselves that invisible power is guarding and guiding us in our journey. Her eyes welled with tears as she was to trying to conclude this experience.
