Narrator:
Friends, Gurudev is unwell. As you can see, the doctor is checking him. He is ill due to respiratory issues. So, it is a request to you all-if you stop visiting Gurudev for a few days, he will surely be more at ease, and his health will improve. My humble request is that you please let Gurudev rest for some time. The doctor checks him often, and he is doing so today as well. I don't know what he will say; I'll go to him now. Namaskar, Doctor. Doctor, how is Gurudev doing?
Doctor:
Actually, the reason for coming here is that Gurudev has been experiencing some respiratory problems. He mentioned that phlegm is stuck in his throat and chest and won't come out. I checked him with the stethoscope and found a chest infection and some congestion. In medical terms, we hear "rhonchi" in his chest. We have started nebulization, some medicines, and antibiotics. Additionally, he has some pain on the right side of his face from time to time; we are providing medication for that as well and conducting some tests.
Doctor:
I hope that in five to seven days, we will be in a position to tell you more about how his health is progressing. For now, he looks stable-perhaps due to his mental strength or God's grace, however you choose to see it. He is okay for now, but as a doctor, I can see that he is quite weak internally. He isn't expressing it for some reason, but as a doctor, I feel we must take that responsibility. Those who are his disciples must also understand that if we aren't careful about his health now, the situation could get out of hand if there is a further decline. But it will take about five to seven days.
Narrator:
So, Gurudev, the doctor has seen you. Please tell the people who come here often, or those who are new, to give you some rest for a few days.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
I do tell them, but who listens? I have given so many messages saying that I am unwell and not to come for now until I get better, but who listens? Nobody listens.
Narrator:
But what can you do, Gurudev? You don't turn them away either. Whoever comes, you see them.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
What can I do? I cannot turn anyone away from the Mother's door. Even so, I try to send them back. I don't have the right to turn them away from Mother's door. But then again, I have to look after my body; otherwise, what will I do? Whatever power I have, whatever I do, it is Mother's power. If I don't give it to the people-I am giving it anyway-but it is a sin. Mother might ask for an account. That is my only fear-that Mother might take away the power. This 21st year is a dangerous year. We are also in fear. My only concern is that if Mother takes the power, everything is over.
Narrator:
So, friends, a special request from this temple: kindly give Gurudev some rest for a few days. That is all we are asking. Namaskar. Namaskar, Doctor. Pranam, Gurudev.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Pranam.
