MY DEAR SHAKUN,

JAI SHREE RADHE!

MY OLD BOAT IS NOW SAILING IN DEEP OCEAN WITH ALL AROUND HIGH TIDES, STRONG WINDS AND RAINS AND NO BOAT-MAN!!!

I AM LYING DOWN HALF SLEEPING AND SOMETIMES OPENING MY EYES TO SEE ALL DARKNESS AND AS IF MY BOAT IS SINKING. BUT THEN SOMEHOW I SEE FOOD PROVIDED TO ME WHEN I AM HUNGRY, WOOLEN BLANKET PUT ON ME WHEN I AM SHIVERING IN COLD, BY AN INVISIBLE HAND. I ALSO COULD HALF-SLEEPING, SEE THAT BOAT IS SAVED FROM FALLING INTO A WHIRLPOOL & CROCODILES.

IMAGINE ONE DAY, I REACH THE SHORE, VERY CLEARLY, GURU AND GOVIND STAND THERE SMILING - GURU WITH HIS SWEET STAFF AND GOVIND WITH HIS SWEET SMILE AND FLUTE ON HIS LOVELY LIPS.

TELL ME SHAKUN, TO WHOM SHOULD I BOW DOWN FIRST - SOMEHOW I FALL DOWN ON THE FEET OF GURUDEV, AND WASH HIS FEET WITH MY TEARS THANKING HIM FOR BRINGING ME TO THE SHORE AND ROLLING ON THE FLOOR I REACH THE FEET OF GOVIND, HUG THE LEGS VERY TIGHTLY AND HE MERCIFUL KEPT HIS FLUTE AND WITH BOTH HANDS TOOK ME FROM HIS FEET, HUGGED ME VERY TIGHTLY TO HIS CHEST SAYING, "I AM SORRY SON, I WAS LATE."
