The Almighty Gurudev

Many people who later became devotees of Sri Sri Thakur tried to test our holy Gurudev in many ways!! What to do its the human mind!! There was a young man who was in his mid twenties happened to meet Guruji at his friend’s home and where each n every member of the family were staunch follower of our Gurudev !! This young fellow who didn’t liked any type of sadhus and saints wasn’t liking much the welcoming of our Gurudev but was quietly watching everything. One day while Sri Sri Thakur had gone out quite early on a day and didn’t returned till late in the night the houseowner before going to bed handed over the keys of the main gate to this young fellow who was smoking while sitting at the balcony of the house after taking the night meal to open the main gate so as to enable Sri Sri Thakur to enter the house.  This young fellow felt very joyous on getting the keys and thought inside that today I would not allow this sadhu to enter the house!!! The facing of the balcony was towards the road which comes towards the main gate of the house and one can see anybody approaching the gate. Now this young fellow kept on waiting and smoking and thought inside as Thakur!! You should not come tonight because if you come then I am afraid you would have to go back as I am not going to open the door in any case!! The night moved on and this man kept on waiting!! It was very dark outside but anybody approaching can be easily seen and suddenly he saw that Sri Sri Thakur slowly coming towards the main gate of the house!!! The young man again checked the keys tucked in his dhoti firmly and became sure and became happy inside!! He saw Gurudev upto the main gate but after that he couldn’t see Him and became confused and started wondering as where Sri Sri Thakur had vanished!!! Just as when he was trying to search Him and peeping from the balcony suddenly a hand came from his backside and tapped on his shoulder!!! That young fellow would have died out of fear by this sudden act and when turned his back was totally and utterly shocked to see Gurudev standing there in front of him!!! Guruji smilingly asked as what you are doing here till late night??? Why didn’t you went to sleep???  That fellow somehow managed control his pumping heart beats and ran from there to his room!!! Needless to say that young man later became a very close devotee of our Gurudev!!! Whom he wanted to stop, who is Sakar and Nirakar both!! Another place also a similar incident happened but it was not done to test Him infact it had happened by mistake!! Somewhere in Bangladesh Guruji was staying and those days he had the habit to visit the toilet quite very early in the morning. It so happened that Gurudev as usual went to the toilet and an elderly lady devotee in order to serve Him locked the toilet door from outside so that nobody else from the house can come and decided to open when Guruji asks for it!! She also decided to be awaken till Sri Sri Thakur returns from the toilet but since it was very early in the morning very soon that lady went into deep sleep and totally forgot that Sri Sri Thakur is locked inside the toilet!!! Suddenly after about hour or so she woke up and found Sri Sri Thakur sitting on his bed as usual and became shocked as the whole house is in deep sleep!! Sri Sri Thakur remarked service should be done whole heartedly and with sincerity!! That lady apologised for her act & Guruji also blessed her!!!  I had found in Advocate Subhamoy Dutta babu’s book that once on an afternoon when he was sleeping lying on the ground and Sri Sri Thakur was sitting on the bed, while going to sleep he could see Sri Sri Thakur sitting on the bed!! Suddenly his sleep broke and he saw that Gurudev was not present there!!! He searched the whole house and even checked the road but to no use!! He became tired and came back to his place and very soon went into deep sleep!! After some hour or so when again he woke up he found Sri Sri Thakur sitting in the same posture as he had seen Him earlier before going to sleep!!! He enquired from Guruji as to where He had gone to which Guruji replied as I didn’t  went anywhere!! I was very much here!! See you all at the next write-up!! Jai Ram!!!
