Our factory is at Silvassa (Diu-Daman) so I generally spend most of my time there; more so because I am responsible for the entire operation there. As usual this time too I was in Silvassa and after completing my work at night I was to leave next morning. As is my routine, I prayed to Bapu to wake me up in the morning.

I woke up early and left Silvassa. The first one and half hour of my travel were smooth. However, after that my left hand started aching. Then there was burning sensation in my chest that culminated in pain. Initially I thought it was acidity so I took a break and sipped some water but there was no relief. I was at the wheel and was travelling alone.

I realized that this was something serious. I was extremely restless and frightened. As a last resort, I prayed to the photograph of Bapu in the car and urged him to bring me safely home to Dombivali.

I then started driving again. Eventually, the chest pain subsided and I drove safely for the next three hours. During the drive, the pain did not occur even once. However, the moment I reached home I could not even lie down for five minutes.

I was uneasy so I walked down to our family doctor. He immediately advised an ECG and did the blood sugar test. The reports showed that my blood sugar had risen tremendously and that I had suffered a heart attack. The doctor took me in his car to the hospital and got me I admitted to the ICU immediately. Treatment was started at once as it was a serious case. Till that day I did not know that I was a diabetic.  Inspite of all this, not once did I feel giddy, fall unconscious or even throw up. I was only feeling uneasy. All through the treatment I was chanting Bapu’s name.

The following day, I could even take a stroll in the ICU. The doctor said that inspite of the heart attack being severe there was not much damage to my heart. I was even recovering very well. The doctor was expecting  at least 3-4 major blockages. But on the fifth day when angiography was done, the doctor was taken aback to see that there was just one block and that too just 50%. Thus the angioplasty was thus averted. The treating doctor admitted that my case was no less than a miracle.

 The credit of all this goes only to my Bapu. Only the Sadguru is capable of such miracles.

A stress test was done two months later. I was confident that this too would be normal, thanks to Bapu’s grace. All the following tests were normal and I could resume work in three months. My life has returned back to normalcy. Now I also drive the car regularly to Silvassa.

I treat this as my second birth. It is my Sadguru Bapu who has granted me this second birth. He is always with me; in the day and in the night. Life cannot be without Him. Bapu is my life, Bapu is my breath.
