*“Ashram”*


So then, what else was there to think? I had to take him along with me now. Because it felt as if it was his own choice. We couldn't stop him!!

He was extremely calm and loving! So we named him *Bhola*. I told him, “I’ll take you with me to Kangra.” Now that he had come along with us, I kept thinking—how would I keep him at home? There were already two kids there; they would fight with him. After thinking about it, I told him, “Alright, I will take you to the Dharmkot Ashram!” I held his face in my hands and told him all this, and that child listened to everything with such attention!


But the moment I mentioned the Ashram… after some time, the whole topic of the ashram came up in our group. And the discussion went so far that I ended up telling everyone the entire story so far!


And then exactly what God had intended happened—a miracle. God sent His child. And they said to me, “Babaji, *we* will take the Dharmkot Ashram! You call the owner today itself and tell him we are taking it.”

My heart and mind went numb. What could I even think? This was a very big step. Very big. Something we could neither imagine nor attempt. This was something that could only happen with God’s grace. In our current situation it was impossible. I thought I must be dreaming!


As we moved towards Kedarnath, each step gave me courage to accept this truth. Because I knew what this task was and how impossible it seemed. And I didn’t even trust myself—whether I could do it. I don’t even know what made me tell them, “Yes, we will take it.”


Everything else was fine. But who exactly was this *Bhola*? The moment I mentioned the Ashram to him, it felt as if God had heard it. In that scorching heat he kept walking with us. His paws had started burning in the sun! We wore shoes, but he walked barefoot with us. If we lagged behind, he would wait ahead for us. Walking, walking, he travelled almost 100 kilometers with us! And there, that little one fell sick.


We were all heartbroken. Because in the middle of our excitement and joy, the journey suddenly took a sad turn. Everyone’s spirits dropped…

"Ashram"

Entonces tuve que llevármelo conmigo. Sentí que era su propia decisión. ¡No podíamos detenerlo!

¡Era tan tranquilo y dulce! ¡Por eso le pusimos Bhola! Le dije que lo llevaría a Kangra. Ahora que estabas aquí, ¿cómo iba a tenerte en casa? Ya tenía dos hijos allí, ¿se pelearían contigo? Después de pensarlo, le dije: "Está bien, te llevaré al Ashram de Dharamkot". Le tomé la cara entre mis manos y le conté todo esto, ¡y mi hijo escuchó atentamente! Pero en cuanto mencioné el ashram, al rato, el tema del ashram surgió en nuestro grupo. ¡Y la conversación se extendió tanto que terminé contando toda la historia!

Y Dios, tal como lo había planeado, obró un milagro. Dios envió a su hijo. Y me dijo: "Babaji, ¡te llevaremos al Ashram de Dharamkot!" Y debes llamar a su dueño hoy mismo y decirle que nos lo quedamos. Me quedé sin palabras. ¿Qué podía pensar? Era una tarea enorme. Tan titánica. No podía ni imaginarla, ni ser capaz de hacer nada. Era una tarea imposible sin Dios. Dada nuestra situación actual, era imposible. ¡Creía que estaba soñando! Cada paso hacia Kedarnath me daba el valor para aceptar esta verdad. Porque sabía lo difícil que era y lo imposible que parecía. Y ni siquiera yo confiaba que para mí fuera posible. Y no sé qué me pasó por la cabeza cuando les dije que aceptaba.

Todo lo demás iba bien. Pero ¿quién era Bhola? En cuanto en que le mencioné el Ashram de Dharamkot, sentí como si Dios me oyera. Caminó con nosotros bajo el calor. ¡Sus pies ya ardían por el sol! ¡Nosotros caminábamos con nuestros zapatos! ¡Pero él caminó sin protección alguna, con nosotros, bajo el sol! Si nos quedábamos atrás, él nos esperaba más adelante. ¡Caminó y caminó con nosotros cien kilómetros! ¡Y allí, el niño enfermó!

Todos nos entristecimos. Este viaje de alegría y felicidad había dado un giro triste, ¡a todos se les ensombreció el rostro! ...continuará.
