gether. His search for truth started. He explored every possible field in
search of inner peace but could not find. All his study of scripture of
various religions proved futile. He was thirsty for His love and needed
water of life. No religious scripture that he had read could lead him to
the real path. Ultimately out of frustration, he decided to end his life, as
in absence of inner peace, he felt there was no purpose of life.
One day when joyfully he burned Holy Bible in presence of his father,
his thirst for truth overpowered his devilish mental sickness. Three
days after the incidence, he woke up at 3 A.M. and prayed, “Oh God, if
you do exist, show me the right way or I will kill myself”. He decided to
die under the running train that passed at 4 A. M everyday, behind his
house. He thought that he would find inner peace in his future birth. He
once again prayed with a determination to move to the railway track. All
of a sudden he saw a bright light in his room. He saw Jesus’ in the
radiance and heard His voice, “I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me”.
It was an experience similar to St Paul. St Paul had heard His voice
“Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against
gods”. Jesus commanded Saul “ I am sending you to them, do open
their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from Satan to
God, so that they may receive forgiveness of their sins and a place
among those who are sanctified by faith in Me”. It changed his life altogether
and Saul (St Paul) turned from persecutor to discipleship.
Similarly, Jesus changed his life. Sunder turned to be disciple and
saved so many lives, preached the Word of God throughout the world.
He realized that Jesus was living God forever. Sunder fell on his knees
before Him and experienced an astonishing peace that he had never
felt before. The vision disappeared, but peace and joy remained within
him throughout.
