It was a time when almost everyone in my family was sick. My daughters were running a high fever which we were controlling with medicines. One was recovering and one was at a peak. And I was exhausted. Her fever was coming every six hours. I went to sleep asking my husband to keep a track of her after the six hours are completed. He works US hours, so he is awake during the night. My daughters were really sick, so I had placed a picture of God from my temple, at her bedside. I looked at that picture before sleeping and told him that I am leaving her in your protection, please take care of her. Saying this, I went to bed. Around 1 am, I felt like someone was waking me up. Someone was shaking me up badly. And I did not buzz as I was sleeping and tired. But then I felt like my daughter was talking to me. The way she talks to me during the day time. I suddenly woke up, found her warm and I checked her fever. It had started rising. I ran to the kitchen to get her medicine and on the way saw my husband. He was working and had forgotten. I gave her medicine, kept a watch for another hour, till her fever came down and then went to sleep.
I wonder, who woke me up, who shook me up. I wonder who was actually keeping a watch on her. All the time we wonder we are doing this, we are doing that. But sometimes I feel so deeply, he is the one who is doing everything. It’s like Barbarik from Mahabharata said. (He was Bheem’s grandson). When asked after the battle was over, who fought bravely? He smiled and said, I could see only Krishna fighting and doing everything. No one else did anything else.
He is the one who has never let me down. He is the one from his house, I have never come back empty-handed. I got whatever I asked for. Whenever I asked, he has always been there. What have I done in return? I have just kept my faith. I love him, and he loves me much more in return. My heart is filled up with his love and gratitude for accepting me in his heart.
Thank you God.
