Sri Sri Thakur – Our All Caring Lord

The place was somewhere at Kolkata where our beloved Guruji was staying at the home of a devotee whom He had promised earlier. Haridas Acharya, one of the very close disciple of Guruji was searching about the whereabouts of Him for a very long time but without any result as Guruji’s stay was always for a short time at a particular place. Then one day, success reached him and he got an address from a devotee where our Lord was staying and he immediately set for his journey for that house to see Gurudev!!  That place quite a far from his place and when he reached that house he heard Sri Sri Thakur’s voice from outside and his heart jumped with joy. He knocked at the door and a mid-aged, fat man came out and asked yes, whom do you need?? Acharyaji asked whether Sri Sri Thakur is staying here to which that man replied yes, He is here!! Acharyaji then requested as can I have His darshan?? That fellow said bluntly No!! Sri Sri Thakur has ordered that nobody can meet him, so you cannot see Him!! Acharyaji very humbly begged that I am searching for Him for quite long time and coming from very far, I will just see him from the door, pay my respects and leave. I will not bother Him with any conversations!! This enraged that man very much and he said as what kind of person you are Mr.??? How can I break the order of Sri Sri Thakur for you??? And he closed the main door of the house with a loud noise on the face of Acharyaji!!!  This made Acharyaji to feel dejected at his heart so much that tears came out of his eyes and he paid his respects to Guruji from outside and started walking on the street. Suddenly, he felt as if a voice similar to Sri Sri Thakur was calling him from backside and when he turned to his astonishment he saw that Gurudev was Himself standing there in front of him!!! Acharyaji immediately fell on the holy lotus feet of Sri Sri Thakur on the street itself and Guruji also blessed him. Guruji took him to a nearby park and both of them sat on a bench. Acharyaji asked that is it true Guruji that you have ordered as not to meet anybody?? Guruji smiled & replied that do you think it is possible?? How can I say no to my devotees who are coming from very far off places to meet me?? Acharyaji said but then the houseowner of that house said that it is your instructions!! Sri Sri Thakur again smiled and said I know that my how many instructions are being followed by these so-called devotees!! When you had approached that house at that time my room was filled with all the friends and relatives of that houseowner and thus it was them who were deciding whom to allow in and whom not!!!  A fellow selling roasted ground-nuts was passing  them when suddenly Guruji asked Acharyaji to purchase some roasted groundnuts of 2 paise!! Acharyaji who didn’t like eating anything from outside became little bit surprised as Sri Sri Thakur’s apetite was also known to him very well, then suddenly what happened?? Whatever it is he purchased some roasted groundnuts as per His orders and Sri Sri Thakur dvided those nuts equally start eating them & also requested Acharyaji to eat. Acharyaji said he don’t want to eat and also didn’t lke eating anything from outside. At this Guruji said that why, these nut sellers have also families who depend on them for their livelihood, he also have to pay their house rent etc. if people like you not think about them then who will?? At this Acharyaji replied that instead of purchasing those nuts one can also give or donate some money to them as charity to which Sri Sri Thakur reactly strongly as why?? Maligning anybody’s dignity is a great offence!! That nut seller may be a poor man but he is not beggar, you should respect that, due to his prarbdha he is poor but for that he is not begging before you for money!! Acharyaji understood his mistake and asked to forgive him. He also wondered that how caring is our Guruji who is caring for even a nut-seller!! Evening was slowly going towards dark when Sri Sri Thakur suddenly asked Acharyaji to go back to his place and cautioned to not to run here and there searching for Guruji as He is present at his home in the portrait itself and narrated that few days back the food was too hot to eat through which Acharyaji understood very well that Sri Sri Thakur’s portrait is not just glass, paper and frame of wood, infact if one has pure devotion & faith Sri Sri Thakur is present there itself!! Acharyaji asked Guruji as where He will go now to which Sri Sri Thakur smiled and said to that same very house where the door was closed at his face!!! Astonished Acharyaji asked why are you going there again??? Smilingly Gurudev replied because I had promised them earlier that I will stay at their house for 7 days and 2 more days are left!! Haridas Acharyaji could not utter anything and kept on staring at Gurudev!!! Guruji blessed him and left!! Jai Ram!! Jai Anantkoti Brahmand nayak, Rajadhiraj, Yogiraj, Sad Guru Sri Sri Ramchandra Dev Maharaj ki Jai!!!
