Guru Protects

There was a devotee living with his wife and a young son. His parents also used to live with him.
​
His son had mid-year exams during annual Sharad Poornima Sadhana, so he came alone to attend half the Sadhana in Mangarh. After a few days, he received a telegram from his wife saying his son was extremely ill hence he should come back soon. He approached Maharaj Ji to seek permission to go and Maharaj ji denied. Next day again he approached Maharaj Ji and this time Maharaj Ji gave permission and said, “Your wife is coming. So tell her to bring the special (maghai) paan (betel leaf for chewing) for me”. Just like most of us, the devotee did not comprehend the statement and definitely did not like the comment. Anyway he sent a telegram to his wife and left Mangarh.

When he reached home, only his old parents were at home. He asked the whereabouts of his wife and son. His parents told him that his wife has gone to Mangarh to attend Sadhana and son is playing in the park. He was confused since he expected to see his son lying in the bed about to die. Seeing his confused state, his parents told him since your son suddenly got perfectly well yesterday afternoon, so your wife bought paan for Maharaj Ji and left this morning.
​
Now he realized it was his misconception that he was looking after his family. Based on the level of surrender Guru always takes care of the responsibilities of His surrendered souls. That’s why Maharaj Ji wanted him to do more Sadhana instead of being attached to the family.

Moral:

Guru is always right; even when His actions don't make sense!

His advice is just the thing we need for our welfare.
