Pilot Of Our Life Boat

In August 1996, I was asked to watch the apartment of a girl disciple who went to visit her relatives in Russia. One day I did not feel well, without any obvious reason. The situation worsened as days passed. I started thinking very bad thoughts about committing suicide. I felt as if somebody were putting these thoughts into my head. The tension was growing. During all this time I was crying inwardly for Guru's help. At the worst point in this experience, a voice sounded inside me to jump out the window from the fifth floor. At this moment I felt Guru's blessingful presence. He told me very strictly to go and sit in front of his Transcendental picture and not to go anywhere. In two minutes I inwardly saw a huge snake, much bigger than me, coming out of me. I had no fear at all because Guru was standing near me and I could feel his great power. He was very big and he was wearing a white dhoti. Then this huge snake very humbly settled itself in Guru's palm and turned into ashes. It totally disappeared. Guru was smiling and I felt his great concern; I was crying. After fifteen minutes this long nightmare finished and my consciousness became light again. I realised how carefully and lovingly Guru pilots our life-boat.
