Under Divine Protection: Beyond the Evil Eye

"तू मेरा राखा सभनी थाई"

August 2025

Today, I experienced a moment of deep spiritual reassurance—one that touched my heart and reminded me, once again, that Guruji is always with me, ang sang—ever-present, always by my side. I am under His protection at all times and at all places.

For the longest time, I was fascinated by evil eye bracelets. Somewhere in my mind, I had developed the belief that I was frequently affected by negative energies and the evil eye. I felt that if I could just find the right bracelet and wear it, I would be protected and everything would fall into place.

This belief became so strong that I spent hours searching online for the perfect evil eye bracelet. I compared designs, read reviews, and finally found one that felt right. When it was delivered, I was genuinely excited. I wore it immediately and felt an unusual sense of comfort, almost as if I had acquired a shield against life's unseen forces.

That same evening, I had been invited to Guruji's Satsang near my home. As I sat in the darbar, I kept glancing at my bracelet and felt reassured by its presence. During the satsang, I also noticed two evil eye ornaments hanging on the wall. Seeing them strengthened my belief even further. I remember thinking, "Perhaps Guruji is showing me that He approves of this bracelet."

The satsang ended, and as we were leaving, my uncle asked me a simple question:

"Did you look carefully at Guruji's chola today?"

I replied, "Yes, of course. Why?"

He smiled and said, "Look again, carefully."

And then he pointed out something that left me speechless. The entire chola was covered with countless evil eye symbols. For a moment, I was stunned. A strange silence filled my heart.

What were the chances? On the very day I had finally received the bracelet I had been obsessing over, on the very day I was feeling protected because of a small object on my wrist, Guruji appeared before me wearing a chola adorned with innumerable evil eyes.

In that instant, something shifted within me. It no longer felt like a coincidence. It felt like a divine conversation. And as Guruji used to say: "There are no coincidences."

It was as though Guruji was smiling at my innocence and gently asking, "Why are you placing your faith in a small bracelet when I am the One who protects you? Why seek security in an object when My grace surrounds you at every moment?"

I suddenly realized that I had unknowingly attached power to the bracelet. I believed it was protecting me, when in truth, every blessing, every protection, and every moment of safety in my life had always come from Guruji alone.

The countless evil eyes on His chola seemed to carry a profound message: no negative force can overpower the grace of the Guru. What protection can a tiny bracelet offer that the Guru's presence cannot? If Guruji walks with me, watches over me, and holds my hand through every challenge, what is there to fear?

I returned home with tears in my eyes and humility in my heart. I removed the bracelet and placed it aside. Then I folded my hands and apologized to Guruji.

"Forgive me, Guruji. How could I forget that You are my protector. I looked outside for what I already have in You."

That day, Guruji did not take away my bracelet. He took away my dependence on it.

He transformed a simple desire into a spiritual lesson. He showed me that faith should not rest in symbols, objects, or superstitions. Faith should rest in the Guru, whose protection is infinite, whose presence is constant, and whose grace is beyond anything the mind can comprehend.

Since that day, whenever fear tries to enter my mind, I remember the countless evil eyes on Guruji's chola and the message hidden within them. I no longer ask who will protect me from the evil eye. I already know. Guruji is my protector in every place, in every moment, and in every lifetime.

You are my protector everywhere.
