During my Pre-University, I was curious to experience the thrill of smoking a cigarette and decided to smoke one with my friends. I told myself that I would only try it once and never touch it again. Unfortunately that wasn’t my last. I have smoked for another eleven years after that day. My addiction was so bad that I could not resist smoking for a single day. I had tried quitting numerous times but always failed. I developed Asthma because of my intensive smoking and my health started getting worse. All through these eleven years, I hadn’t once thought about coming to Guruji with this problem.
It was in the year 2012, I started to think seriously about quitting cigarettes and decided to ask for Guruji’s help. It was Bada Guruwaar and I don’t remember the exact month, when I decided to request Papaji to remove me out of this addiction. I started waiting in the queue and was constantly wondering as to how Guruji would get me out of smoking. I was also scared on the other hand that Guruji will make me leave smoking once I ask for it, and I will never be able smoke after that even if I wished to. And finally when my turn came, I just bowed in front of Papaji and said that I wanted to quit smoking. Papaji instantly laughed at me and asked “Pakka?” I said yes. He said that I should go to Sharma ji (Guruji) and tell the same. Sharma Ji Guruji gave me blessed Elaichis and asked me to have one every time I had a craving.
I tried not to smoke after that day, but I again failed. So I stopped trying and waited for Guruji to take care of it. After around 25 days, I started to feel some pain in my stomach, and the pain was in a very unusual place. I took Guruji’s blessed laung that night and went to sleep. The next morning, when I was at my office, the pain became unbearable, so much so that I was rushed to a hospital by my colleagues. The pain was on for a week and I had severe nausea which made me hate the smell of food and cigarettes. During that week I had got my MRI, Ultrasound, X ray and everything else, but the doctors could not diagnose the problem. I was given a lot of pain killers, but the pain wouldn’t stop. I kept wondering why Guruji’s Laung and Elaichi had no effect on me, and thought maybe I am being punished for smoking. I got up from the bed and stood in front Guruji’s picture and apologized for smoking. I also promised Guruji that if He takes away my pain, I would never ever touch another cigarette. My pain vanished in a matter of five minutes. I did not feel a pinch of pain and I started to feel hungry. That was it, I was relieved like it was some nightmare that I woke up from. It has been approximately a year and a half since I smoked. Honestly I don’t have the craving or the desire anymore and even if I did, I wouldn’t have the courage to break a promise made to Guruji.
Jai Gurudev.
