In mid November I left home not really knowing why I was going,
I was leaving behind my responsibilities.what was I doing?
My mind kept questioning my choice to leave the comforts of home,
To stay in a foreign land for one month.it simply did not agree.
Who would take care of me, what would I eat and where would I sleep?
Again I forgot that the Shepherd always takes care of His own sheep.
For one month I was showered with the love only true saints could give,
By the deeds of His devotees, my Satguru was showing me how to live.
I had heard many wonderful inspiring things of Samagams in the past,
Yet only by attending this time did I feel an inspiration that would last.
Finally I was a witness to what Baba Ji wants to establish as the goal,
A world full of peace, unity and harmony working together as a whole.
With His benevolence I had the chance to receive His blessings everyday,
Doing seva, simran and satsang daily, the five vices had finally gone away.
I was in complete bliss, which was why time seemed to be going by so fast,
But time waits not and the destined future would soon have to occur at last.
I was jealous of all the saints who could be with Baba Ji even after I left,
They are so fortunate to be in His presence every day of their lives.
With sympathy He appeared in my dream that night while I lay in bed,
"Have you forgotten that I am not this body?" was what He said.
I was content with feeling His presence all around me at all times,
Still it troubled me that I would have to go back to that old world again!
It was time to go, I said to Baba Ji "Master, I really like it here."
Knowing my intentions to stay He spoke "It is time to leave my dear."
Understanding my Satguru's message that I have responsibilities to fulfill,
I bid farewell to Him and knew I would have to uphold the 4th principle!
He looked deeply into my eyes and smiled, He saw that I had understood,
Remembering that God is always everywhere; this will bring a life full of good.
