Nothing Is Impossible

In 1995, when Guru wanted to have the great Peace Concert in Prague for 13,000 people, he also said that he wanted a thousand Russian disciples to come to the concert. Somebody from our country had to go to Prague in advance to help organise the arrival of the Russians, and it happened to be Valentina from the Ukraine, a wonderful soul, and me. We stayed in Prague for a month before the concert, and it was an unforgettable experience from the beginning to the end. So many times we saw Guru's force doing something which seemed to be a miracle, and there were probably many other times when we were not conscious of his influence. Two days before the concert, we had to leave Prague to meet the Russian disciples. We decided to bring invitations to the railway station at the border between Slovakia and the Ukraine where all the Russians had to go through customs. We planned to travel from Prague by a train which had a transfer in Slovakia. Something went wrong and we just missed the connecting train by a few minutes. There was no time to wait for another train, so we had to go to the Ukraine by taxi. Suddenly things turned into a perfect thriller. It was a dark night, and we had only a few hours before the disciples would arrive. This Ukrainian border was a very dangerous and criminal place. They say that sometimes commercial trucks wait for days to cross it. In March 1999, when we were coming back from Guru's concert, our buses had to wait there for nine hours. We found a taxi and joined the long customs line, which was practically not moving because of those huge trucks. I thought, "This is how hostile forces probably look; great unconscious trucks moving ever so slowly and monotonously in the darkness, and we just have to wait hour upon hour and cannot do anything." If we did not arrive in time with the invitations, the disciples would probably not be allowed to cross the border. It became obvious that we would never cross in time, so we decided to ask the customs to let us go through on foot. Such things are never allowed at this kind of border, but that night they let us pass. Then we found another taxi to go to the station. We started off, but then there was another jam because of a truck accident. As soon as we could move again, our car broke down, and we had to look for a third taxi. Then suddenly, out of the blue, or I should say, out of the dark, a thick fog appeared; it was hardly possible to see anything. Our driver also discovered that the regular road to the station was blocked for repairs. He said, "For so many years I have been using this road, and I have never seen anything like that!" We only smiled. "Perhaps you will never see anything like that again," we thought. But we felt that Guru was leading us through these endless obstacles like a father would lead his little children. The driver said that he knew another road to get to the station, but it turned out to be a one-way road, and we had to go in the wrong direction. "Do not worry, there should not be so many cars at this hour," he said, "and I know a good way to drive in the fog: you just have to go with your headlights off." What could we do? There was practically no time left, so we travelled at night in the fog in the wrong direction on a one-way road with our headlights off. We went very fast in deep silence, and I wondered why I was not feeling any fear. Actually I felt perfectly peaceful and safe as if I were sitting at the Tennis Court. Guru's protection was so tangible. I almost felt sorry when the journey was over. Guru just took us in his hand and carried us all the way. We arrived at the station at the last moment and we were able to give the invitations so the disciples could clear immigration. In such situations, when you have no knowledge-power, no money-power, no physical power, nothing, you can only cry to Guru, hoping for a miracle. Then you learn that Guru's compassion-power is far superior to all these powers put together. That was my first experience that with Guru nothing is impossible.
