'The Guru has Seen Us'
'What was it like?' enquired Swamishri.
'It was reddish in color with a faint dot in the middle and a ring all the way round,' replied the sadhu.
Swamishri paused and said, 'You saw Saturn but has Saturn seen you?'
'No,' replied another sadhu, 'but the Guru has seen us.' Hearing this, the previous sadhu added,
'Yes, we are fortunate in that the Guru has seen us. That is all we require.'
'That's right,' said Swamishri.
'Now that we have the contact of a bona fide Guru, we have to remain happy and joyful.'
Sometimes our heart is filled with the joy of knowing somebody great or famous in this world. But does that person know us? Has he ever called us by our name?
Swamishri knows us and loves us. He takes keen interest in our lives. How rare it is to get such close contact of a God-communion sadhu.
This fact alone should be a constant source of joy and fulfillment in our hearts.

If Only One has Faith'
After lunch, a group of devotees and youths were in Swamishri's room for the afternoon discourse. One of the youths said, 'Swamishri, please show us Akshardham.'
Before Swamishri could say anything a devotee said, 'But Akshardham is sitting before your very eyes. Everything is here if only one has faith.'
Swamishri frequently says, 'We cannot see the Lord in Akshardham and we fail to realize the true greatness of the form of God that is sitting, walking, talking and eating before us.'
So what do we do?
It requires of us to keep faith in the form of God that is before us. Through such firm faith and the divine grace of a God-communion Sadhu we will be blessed with boundless bliss.
