Cosmic Conspires

“So you will get pension?” asked Guru Maharaj.
I said, “No, Guruji!”
“But you will!”
I tried to explain to him!! “I had opted for PF and not pension. So, I will not get pension.”

I was working in a Nationalized Bank and as soon as Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) was introduced and I became eligible I had opted to quit employment. The day I walked out of the Bank, Guru Maharaj, the Father that he is, enquired about the various benefits I would get and if I would be able to manage the financial aspect without any problem. It was in this context that Guru Maharaj placed this question.

Guru Maharaj said again, “You will get pension!”
I wondered. As always I thought ‘Guruji has not heard me properly or I have not been clear’. So, I gave him the details. “Guruji! We were given the choice of opting for pension or PF and I had opted for the latter. The choice was given twice and both the times I had opted for PF. So, I will not get pension. There is absolutely no chance.”
Guru Maharaj heard me fully and said, “But you will get pension! You will get pension!” I gave up!
As Bhagyaji has said in ‘Madhurasmaranam’ when something is willed by
Guru Maharaj the Cosmic conspires to make it happen – whatever it may be! Even declined pension!! So, the Cosmic conspired not only to get me a good amount of pension after ten years but also to receive a lump sum from the Bank while settling the difference between the arrears the Bank has to pay me and the amount due from me to the Bank on account of their PF contribution and interest thereon!
