________________ understand and feel a little bit of the divinity that lay within him. Next year we went to Spain on our holiday. There, in an old fort in Segovia, I fell and twisted my ankle. My husband took me to a hospital nearby where the doctor asked me to be taken to the Emergency Ward without my husband and children. I was in a strange country, not knowing the local language and in a lot of pain, so it was a terrifying experience. I was taken in a wheelchair to the top floor in a lift where two people carried me and laid me on a bed and then left , leaving me totally alone and unattended. There was not a soul around and I felt very alone and scared. At that precise moment I felt a sense of peace steal into my heart. I felt Guruji's presence close to me. Slowly my fear dissolved and I found myself in a prayerful mood. That experience was so deep and heartfelt that I felt myself to have reached a very secure and peaceful place. I felt Guruji's presence, in his white robes protecting me throughout. Then the doctors took my X rays and wheeled me down to my husband and children. However in this duration I felt a depth of divine feeling which I cannot express in words. When I think about that experience I feel such gratitude. Only one who has experienced that sense of his presence in his physical absence can understand what I felt. After we returned from Spain, our inclination towards reading spiritual books grew. Inside me I felt a growing sense of the importance of the Guru's grace. I realized what a priceless treasure had been given to me. I thanked those lucky stars of mine which had led me to a meeting with my Guru. My children have also experienced his invisible power. My husband is a very shy and reticent man. He has not spoken about his experiences, but his unbounded love for Guruji is testimony to his faith and belief in him. shantidoot messenger of peace 226 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
