Kaka is not a problem solving machine - He is a spiritual saint

Jai Gurudev!
Satguru bhagawant ne koti koti pranaam!
It is true that most people used to go to Kaka (Satguru Devendra Ghia) for solving their problems. Everyone's problems used to be different, some would have financial problems, some would have marital problems, some would have health problems, some would have other problems. But most people would come to Kaka (Satguru Devendra Ghia) initially only for their problems. Hardly anyone initially came for spiritual progress. But Kaka (Satguru Devendra Ghia) is not a problem-solving machine. He is a spiritual saint. Kaka used to write and sing bhajans. Even if there was a huge crowd and there was someone who needed an answer, Kaka would give him the answer in the form of a bhajan. That person would get the answer and other people would not even know about it. All this would take place without the seeker even asking a question. Kaka also used to instill the seeds of spirituality in people. He knew that those seeds would ripen sometime or the other. When Kaka instilled those seeds within me, it remains unknown to me.
In 1992, Kaka once asked me to pick up a pen from his hand. He had 3 pens in his palm - one pen had a stamp of Shri Devendra Ghia, another was a pilot pen, and third was a Wilson pen. At that time, I did not know why he was giving me a pen, so I was looking for the best one to pick up. I thought what would I do with a pen that has his stamp. So I picked up the Wilson pen. He then told me to start writing bhajans. I took the pen and went home. I was unable to write anything. I subsequently met Kaka 3 times after he gave me the pen. He never asked me what I had written and I never told him that I have not yet written anything. After the third visit, one night, I was woken up from my sleep and the words flowed. I still remember the first line that came - Maliya che jeevan ma mane mara anmol guru - મળિયા છે જીવન માં મને મારા અનમોલ ગુરુ (I have got a precious spiritual master in my life).
The next day, I went to meet at Kaka . Before I could tell him that I have written something, he asked me to speak the bhajan that I had written. It was not amazing that he knew as by now we all were used to the fact that he always knew. I spoke those verses and he had a smile on his face. I believe, he was very pleased. From that day on, with his grace, the writing has started. And when the words flow, the world ceases to exist - only the divine remains. This seed of spirituality that Kaka instilled, one would never know when it happened, when it would germinate and when god would become a priority in life. Only a satguru can do that!!
