And I was sitting in my room sad and depressed. The reason was my cousin (my elder brother) who is very close to me, was going through the toughest period of his life. He was crossing the age of marriage according to parents and relatives (he was 33) and was forced by everyone for the same. His business was at a great loss. He was under deep depression which made up his mind for suicide attempt. I was sad because I was not there to support him. Moreover, I was not even doing Seva which added to my sadness. One day, my YES!+ teacher called me for dinner with other volunteers. I did not feel like going anywhere but I could not say no to him so I went. He was sitting in front of me and was reading out “I Promise” (By Guruji) to one of the volunteers. Listening to it I suddenly burst into tears and narrated him the whole thing. He said “tu aise ro rahi hai matlab tujhe apne Guru par bilkul bhi bharosa nahi hai” (If you are crying like this, it means you do not trust your Guru) He is waiting for you to give away your problemsto Him. You just have to surrender to Him. Pray to Him, have Faith and See the Magic.” His words changed something in me and that very moment I surrendered everything to Guruji and felt opened up like never before. I was smiling Next day onwards I was doing Seva for the upcoming course. I repeated the course as well as the DSN. There is something new you learn from the course every time you do it. I almost forgot about the problems and did not talk about my brother at home. After all the courses, I went to celebrate Maha Shivratri with Guruji in Jaipur. I was fully involved in Seva and I lived, loved and enjoyed each and every moment during that period. My focus was only Guruji and His work. After coming back to Delhi, I finally spoke to my mother for around half an hour or more. And there were again tears in my eyes but this time the transformed ones (from tears of sorrow to tears of Gratitude). I was speechless, stunned, could not move for a minute. My brother who was in trouble few weeks back was now doing awesomely well. His business started to grow again and his marriage got fixed. The most miraculous part was that he was going to step into new life on 13th May. Yes, he was getting married on 13th May, on Guruji’s Birthday. “Tera Main” I could remember only these two words that moment. Guruji just did it. Just few weeks and HE changed my brother’s life. Gratitude is just a small word for HIM. Life has been a celebration since I have met Guruji. Problems just touch and go away. What remains is the immense Gratitude and Love which grow with every passing day. I have surrendered my life to HIM and Miracles just happen, lots and lots of love.
