'Swami' Sattyanand speaks on Guru Dev:-
'When in 1953 Guru Dev left this mortal frame and attained nirvana I
was at Banares, another place of pilgrimage for Hindus, and at that
moment I was staying in the ashram of Guru Dev. Everybody knew that I
am very attached to Guru Dev and devoted to Guru Dev, and then news
came to Benares that Guru Dev has attained nirvana. I was sitting
somewhere with a group of my friends and the news was relayed there.
When my friends heard that Guru Dev was no more they were very
anxious about me and when they conveyed that news, they were rather
alert to appraise whatever reaction is and what happened I simply,
when I heard that news I became very sad, very sorry and I just kept
my head on the table before me. And all of them were very anxious
what will become of me. But soon after, while I was very morose,
sorrow, sad, entire world was empty for me and I did not understand
what to do without Guru Dev, just a half a minute or two seconds
after a flash came and it appeared to me that Guru Dev was scolding
me;
What a fool you are! You have been with me for all these many months
and years, and you heard my discourses too. Is it a moment of feeling
sorry? Why should you be sorry today? And you think that I am gone,
where am I gone? Till now whenever you wanted to meet me you had, you
had to come to the place where I was, and today when I have attained
nirvana, I am everywhere, I am omnipresent. Where have I gone? Very
foolish for you to mourn on this occasion. I am with you, here,
there, everywhere. Why should you be sorry?
And the moment this flash came my face became very brilliant, I
became very cheerful. And when I raised my head, my friends who were
standing there very anxious and held in suspense, they were upset to
see my brilliant and cheerful face. And then they said, What has
happened to you? I said, No you can't understand, nothing has
happened to me, I am alright, now let me go back to the ashram and
make the necessary arrangements.'
