My beloved spiritual master lost his mother. When I heard the news, I started weeping—it felt as though I had lost someone from my own family. To my surprise, I had never met this beautiful soul, and I could not understand the depth of my feelings at first. Slowly, I realized the reasons.
I could not bear the thought of the pain my master must be experiencing.
I felt a connection that seemed to come not only from this life, but from past lives.
And above all, my Guruji has opened my heart so deeply that I now feel the pain and loss of people beyond my immediate family.
If this is not the grace and power of the Satguru, then what is it? Do we ordinarily cry for those we have never met? It is only the Guru’s unconditional love, support, and blessings that make our hearts so expansive—capable of feeling compassion for all living beings.
Whatever the reason, I only know this: it is my Satguru who has given me such grace. I feel humbled that I was able to be present with Guruji, with his family, and with our Bhakti Marga family, witnessing the immense love he showered upon his mother.
Looking at him, I saw peace, pain, and stillness all at once—a divine presence in human form, fulfilling his sacred responsibility towards his Maa. It was humbling to see an Enlightened Master expressing such tender human emotions for the one who gave him birth—his *janam janani*. At moments, when he looked at her, there was such profound sadness and love on his face.
He carried out his duty as a son, father, brother, uncle—and above all, as Guru, including us in his greatest moment of loss.
Thank you, Guruji. Pranām at your lotus feet.👣
