everywhere
Indeed, during the celebration of Diwali, the Guru assumed seven identical forms and
graced the houses of all the devotees in the seven places simultaneously, with his presence in his
eighth form, he stayed at hismuth. The omnipresent Lord stayed for five long days in all the eight
places! The seven devotees again visited the muth in the holy month of Kartik and they were telling
one another that Sree Guru had graced their respective houses during the festivities of Diwali. The
disciples at the muth intervened and said, 'In fact, the Lord had not left the muth at all during the
five days celebration. He graced us all by his presence here. Consequently, every one of them
accused every other of telling lies. When the argument drew the attention of Sree Guru, he said,
'Do not dispute among yourselves. I am everywhere!' Everyone was struck dumb with amazement
and joy. Together, they all sang his glory: 'Thus, Supreme Lord, unable to fathom your mystery, we
wrangle and dispute about you. How could our common language ever acknowledge thy glory
adequately, when even the Vedas have failed to do so? Verily, you are the In-dweller of the heartcave of every creature. Oh Thou all-pervading one, your divine birth and acts aim only at blessing
thy devotees. Be pleased to bless us that we are not deluded by thy power of cosmic illusion. Ay,
may we not be deluded by all that is seen and heard (by our illusory senses)'. The Lord blessed
them all saying, `Amen!'
