GREETINGS

Swamiji,in corona times I was really going through a lot of mental trauma as my mother is a cancer patient so I had to be extra careful while going to work and as there was a corona case in my place, I even dint go to work for a few days so the people at work tried to take advantage of my fears and weaknesses and tried to demean me and that made me upset,I even took counselling to reduce my fears as in those times my mind was numbed with fear and lack of support at work made it worse but more than counselling something else helped me, I got associated with a spiritual acharya who lives a simple monk life but he was very kind,warm and patient and as I shared my mental trauma with him I not only felt lighter but slowly the situation at work and home too got better and turned around in my favour.I also did japa sadhana at that time but I am not sure whether it was my efforts or my karma or maybe his spiritual powers that helped me.can somebody’s spiritual powers help us like that but he looked simple and not like a very spiritually enlightened person or is it only that they can guide us and its our efforts,sadhana and our karma that can truly help us.I don’t like to get dependant on somebody’s powers however kind he may be so please could you clarify my doubts.
