Completely In Tune

When my mother died several years ago, I was devastated and felt a part of me had also died with her. "Where has she gone?" was my constant question. I felt abandoned. One day I felt particularly sad and wrote Guru a note saying how much I longed to see her, to speak with her and to feel her presence. On her birthday I sent Guru flowers and a simple card honouring her former soul's day—once on earth, now in Heaven. That night, although I was working, I felt an inner compulsion to leave and go to see Guru. It was a public meditation and quite formal. I came in and sat at the back. Immediately I felt a sensation of my mother's soul come from Guru's heart and then sit down next to me. I felt she was speaking to me very lovingly and with deep concern to make sure I was all right. I felt her arm over my shoulders, and a deep feeling of peace came over me. I looked up to see Guru interrupt his meditation, take up my card from its flower arrangement and write something on it. I was deeply moved by Guru's complete oneness with the experience I had just received. I always wonder if these experiences are my imagination, but this time Guru proved to me that my imagination and his oneness were completely in tune with each other.
