Chapter 150 :  Beesekallu (A stone carved as a grind)

 

She was a native of Kadur and her husband used to work in the court, recently they "I have moved to Bangalore. While talking to me she recounted her first meeting with

Gurunatha.

“Our mother-in-law was not well; I had gone to ask about that. Gurunatha was sitting near the tomb behind Shiva temple.

He said.. “come, I was expecting you, the seer of the advaitha peetha had given me one mantra, l was thinking whom I should give it to, don’t open it, just keep it in your puja room and worship it, if you feel like opening it, don’t open at night”. With these words he gave me a small piece of wrapped paper. I have preserved it till this day.

Meanwhile, I was having weird dreams at night, when asked about this Gurunatha had said, you were destined to die at the age of 45; l have deferred it for you. You need not worry. I did not understand a word of what he said.

In another instance, I was ill and was being hospitalized; Gurunatha called me and said, “Why you are going without turning back?”

I replied, “Sir, it seems I have hernia, doctors are going to operate on me”

Gurunatha said, “You don’t have hernia, there has been a small mistake while doing caesarian section, you buy and keep a Beesekallu (A stone carved as a grind) at your house, you do not require any surgery.” It happened as he had said and l was discharged without being operated.

But, in hindsight, it would have been better if I had died first. But again, Gurunatha had once said, “If the husband dies first, the wife can overcome the grief. But, if the wife dies it will be very difficult for the husband to live.” I keep consoling myself by remembering his words.

A few months after my husband had died Gurunatha had come to our house. I asked him “Why my husband died without enjoying any pleasures of life?

Gurunatha replied.. “What do you mean by pleasures of life?” Your husband did not take any bribe. Everyone liked him, due to his noble qualities he has gone very far, you should not cry and call him back.

‘I have seen the God’

Before coming to our house, Gurunatha had gone to the office where my husband was working. He made his disciples chant some Veda mantras and distribute sweets to his co-workers and some inmates. During this one of the under trials refused to accept the sweet offered by the devotees and asked some poison to be given instead.

The devotee who offered him sweet said, “If you need poison, you should talk to him, the one sitting in the car (pointing at Gurunatha)”

The accused approached Gurunatha and told him, “I have been jailed without committing any crime, even the God did not heed to my prayers”

Gurunatha assured him and told him that he would be released soon and made him eat the sweets. Before Gurunatha and the devotees left the place, news came that, that under trial has been released.

He was ecstatic, he cried and shouted, he was heard calling his people and telling them, ‘I have seen the God, I will be free now’.

How merciful is our Sadguru! Having narrated the above, she concluded quoting what Gurunatha had told her, “Do not trust anyone in this world. But, never lose faith in Lord Eashwara”
