The Bombay Ticket

This is the incident, when Guruji was leaving for   Bombay and I had gone to the station to see Him off. Sharma ji had also come   with us. When the train was about to leave in five minutes. Guruji asked me, “Do   you want to come with Me ?” Ofcourse, I wanted to go. But ticket ?

I asked Him that the train is about to leave in five minutes. Even if the   tickets are available, I won’t be able to go to the ticket counter and come back   in time to catch the train. Guruji told me to just go and purchase the ticket.

I started moving towards the ticket counter and I would have hardly gone a few   steps, when a man came running from behind me shouting – “Ticket ? Do you want   Ticket ?” Ofcourse, I wanted the ticket. I stopped and looked at Him. He had a   BLANK ticket with him. He asked me my name and hurriedly filled it on the   ticket. He handed over the ticket to me and I paid him for it. Everything   happened so fast that I could not understand. All I knew was before even five   minutes, I was standing with Guruji, with the ticket in my hand.

When I looked around again, I could not see the person, who had handed over the   ticket to me. It was as if, he had handed over the ticket to me and vanished !
