NARRATOR:
Upon receiving news of Gurudev's illness, Dr. Nilanjan Bhattacharya went to check on Gurudev.
GURUDEV:
Hail Mother Tara. Hail Bamdev. Hail Mother Tara. Hail Bamdev.
INTERVIEWER:
Dada... with a bit of effort... could you turn and sit here... with the chair... a bit closer... a bit closer... Oh, please, come on, it will be difficult to talk to these people otherwise.
INTERVIEWER:
Greetings, Gurudev.
GURUDEV:
Greetings, my son, greetings, greetings.
INTERVIEWER:
Everyone is concerned about you. They are asking what happened to you; we are getting many comments in the comment box, everyone wants to know what happened to you.
GURUDEV:
No, many haven't seen me for a long time. The son of Mother Tara is offering prayers to Her, offering prayers to Mother Kali, this is also... calls are coming, wishing that Mother keeps me well.
INTERVIEWER:
Now Gurudev, a doctor has also come to see you. He examined you; we saw him checking you up. Now we are turning to the doctor. Doctor, how did you find him? How did you find Gurudev? What do you think?
DOCTOR:
He is just getting a fever occasionally, and the thing is, there were signs of an infection in the chest earlier. That's why we were a bit worried about that. But the thing is, as you all know, we don't have the capacity to treat him by ordinary rules. Still, we have tried with whatever bookish knowledge we have. But I don't think that has much value.
DOCTOR:
That is, I did what was required as a human being, but I don't count him among ordinary humans, so I can't say how much it will work in his case.
GURUDEV:
Yes, it will definitely work. You must believe in science, Doctor. Science must be respected. Because of people like you, many are getting cured today. Just with a touch of your hands, so many people are getting well, so many faces are smiling, don't you see?
GURUDEV:
Therefore, you are the primary God to me. I tell everyone: first go to the doctor. If the doctor says I can't do it, then come to me. Before that, I never try my hand at it. First, I say go to the doctor. If the doctor says it's not possible for me, then you come to me and I will try. Right? This is what I say every time, to every person.
GURUDEV:
And you will see some people bringing a heap of prescriptions after seeing doctors. Many prescriptions; see whether I am lying or telling the truth. I saw that truly they have become exhausted. Forget the money part; they have seen doctors and it has been a total failure.
GURUDEV:
Then they tell me, "I've come to this last place; if I get well now, fine, otherwise I know my death is inevitable." I hear this quite often; most people come and say this. It hurts, it hurts immensely. Yes, there is nothing that doctors can't do, and this thought sometimes worries me a lot.
GURUDEV:
They don't lack in their efforts. If a patient survives or gets well, the doctor has seen God. You may not know, many don't know, that the doctor has seen God. When he cures a person, he has seen God.
GURUDEV:
Every moment they are seeing God. Because they are the messengers sent by God. We say "angel, angel, angel," so they are these angels, divine messengers, messengers of God.
GURUDEV:
So he examined me, gave some medicines, and I will surely be okay.
INTERVIEWER:
Now, the only reason for doing today's episode is this. Many are worried about you; they wanted to know about your physical condition, so we made this video today. And Rekhi Maa is saying—you know Rekhi Maa?
GURUDEV:
Yes, I know.
GURUDEV:
Rekhi Maa called last night at 11 o'clock. "Father, what happened to you?" So I said this and that happened. Then she said, "Okay, wait. I am working on it; by tomorrow morning you will be completely well and come to the prayer room. You will be completely fine." So I said, "Okay, let's see, if I get well, I will go."
INTERVIEWER:
That means you want to say both Reiki and Allopathy are going on for you, and they are also praying to God for your recovery.
GURUDEV:
Certainly... I've become restless.
INTERVIEWER:
Well, that's another matter, Rekhi Maa is doing that Reiki from far away, but at the same time the doctor is sitting here. So I will ask the doctor once last time, we are all a bit worried about you, Doctor, kindly give us some words of hope, how healthy is Gurudev or when will he be?
DOCTOR:
No, let me say one thing here, I am not the appropriate person to give words of hope regarding him. Rather, it is he who always gives words of hope to everyone. I can only tell everyone that if Gurudev wants, he will surely take care of his health, but that depends entirely on his will and the will of Mother Tara. How he views it. I have no role here. I have only come to perform a few worldly duties. That's all.
INTERVIEWER:
Thank you, Doctor.
DOCTOR:
Right, right.
INTERVIEWER:
Greetings, Gurudev.
GURUDEV:
Greetings, greetings, greetings, son, greetings, greetings, greetings, son.
