There were different kinds of issues that mainly related to problems of money, anger, greed, lust, betrayal, fear, playing the victim, being unreasonable, fights, loneliness, sadness, spiritual queries and the innumerable usual things afflicting all living beings. Mostly the issues were about Karma dished out to all beings with not much thought or emotion. As Baba would so often say, ‘Karma is not our enemy . . . Karma is our greatest friend . . . Karma when embraced joyously leads to salvation and liberation . . . but being ignorant we fight our best well-wisher with the cloak of anger, hate and negativity; we push away the one who only wants the eternal best for each of us instead of embracing all that our friend wants us to experience—Wake up, Rudra! Don’t you dare snore when I speak such powerful words to you, you rascal.’
Rudra’s life had not changed. He channelled for those who came for help and over a number of people came over. It tired Rudra but that is understandable as everybody came with problems and Rudra tried his best to divine the solutions or figure out ways of dealing with the ordeal. Sometimes the Karmic blueprint could suddenly get altered which upset people as that meant the predictions were not transpiring into reality but most often people came back which only meant that things were on track. Since a while Rudra only focused on emergencies and spiritual queries but miracles were taking place, thanks to Baba.
Rudra channelled as and when there were people who wanted help but he had kept a few days for divination. He did not want people to begin using him as a crutch and he had no intention of having a following or, God forbid, a cult. Thus, he purposely restricted his séances to a few sessions in the week. That way those who truly needed help were provided with solace and comfort, and divination; especially those who were walking the Path.
He still did not charge people any money but most people often left gifts and money which took care of Rudra’s needs and even wants. Mr Seth converted Rudra’s black van into a beautiful house on wheels, very comfortable, but from outside it looked the same as Rudra did not like attracting attention.
Rudra did not interact with the outside world apart from his cottage landlord, Dwarka. His landlord was an elderly man living his last days in New Zealand, more than happy that Rudra had leased his cottage and was taking good care of it. He had nobody to leave the cottage to and had indicated to Rudra that if all went as planned he would will the cottage to Rudra as long as Rudra kept aside the rent to help elderly people who were in need.
