Inner Communication

In early March 1983, I was at home with a big cast on my leg—I had broken my leg in February. Guru was going to India, and all the disciples had gone to see him off. Sitting at home, I was sad that I couldn't be at the airport. I was picturing what Guru was doing and envisioned him giving prasad to the disciples. Thinking that Guru might remember to send prasad home for me, I said to myself, "I wonder if Guru will think of me." Within literally five minutes the phone rang. It was Guru. There was no introduction or small talk—he merely said, "I always think of you." Guru was not at home where he could just pick up the phone—he was at the airport! It is amazing to think that Guru first not only heard my thought, but then immediately had to find a payphone in the airport, get my number, get change, and call me (there were no cell phones in those days!)—and all within minutes of my thought! I was overwhelmed.
