Reduction in suffering:

One disciple had a problem of stammering. He felt like conducting a spiritual discourse like his other guru-brethren. He told the Guru his difficulty and asked, “What is the solution to this?”

The Guru responded, “If you speak thinking that you are speaking, you will falter because of your stammering. However if you foster the spiritual emotion that ‘the Guru is speaking through you’, you will not stammer; because the Guru does not.” Later, when delivering the discourse, the disciple who otherwise stammered at every sentence, stammered only once or twice in that one and a half hour.

Recovery from or cure of an illness:

Communication with the Guru reduces an illness: If one’s illness is spiritual in origin, then how it can be overcome merely by reading the Guru’s letter in illustrated by the following : ‘H.H Shirsashtang namaskar. I received both Your letters. When I received Your second letter I was tossing and turning in bed with pain the abdomen. No sooner did I read Your letter than my pain reduced markedly.

Getting cured by obeying the Guru’s directives:

Once Ramjidada was sleeping as He was running high fever. When His Guru Anantanand Saish came to know of this He said to Ramjidada, “Take a bath, your fever will subside.” Though Ramjidada was burning with fever He went to the well and as usual poured two to three buckets of cold water on Himself. Not only did His fever subside; but His exhaustion too disappeared and once again He felt refreshed.

Not experiencing fatigue in the Guru’s presence:

An individual who normally gets tired with four to five hours of hard work can work for fifteen to sixteen hours a day, at a stretch continuously for six to seven days in H.H.Bhaktaraj Maharaj’s presence and still not feel exhausted. Several devotees have experienced the acquisition of divine consciousness (chaitanya) and energy (shakti) in H.H.Bhaktaraj Maharaj’s company.”

Spiritual experiences obtained when the Guru is speaking

• Feeling like listening to Him constantly:
  Those listening to H.H.Bhaktaraj Maharaj’s conversation feel that it should go on and that they should continue listening to it. One realizes that in it there is something beyond lucid speech. Even though He does not crack jokes or impart knowledge and just speaks on the usual worldly topics like travelling, food, etc. yet one feels like listening. Naturally, the reason for this is the divine consciousness (chaitanya) in His speech. Hence, even if one has heard H.H. Bhaktaraj Maharaj relating an incident several times one still feels like listening to it again. But if one has to listen to the same incident repeatedly from someone else then one is bored. In short, one gets the real spiritual experiences of satsang (holy company) when listening to H.H.Bhaktaraj Maharaj’s conversation.
• Absence of awareness regarding time.
• Absence of awareness regarding meals, bathing etc.
• Often, later one is unable to relate exactly what H.H. Bhaktaraj spoke.
• Some enter a state of meditation.
• One can decipher whether what the Guru speaks is just in humour or casual or whether He is trying to teach some thing through it, only when one is at a very high spiritual level.
