When God Appears in Human Form 2

I was travelling to Newark Airport from Philadelphia. I was apprehensive since i had a flight to catch at 6 p.m to India and had two pieces of luggage with me. A huge red suitcase and a smaller hand bag. I had seen many persons using the Philadelphia metro railway.So i decided to try the three train exchange travel option namely from my house to Philly city, Philly city to Trenton, New Jersey and Trenton to Newark Airport.I was tensed. As usual i told the Lord, that he had to come along with me and help me out. As i got down at the Trenton railway station, i was not sure which direction to take to the Newark Airport since the signs where misleading. While this thought appeared in my mind, an American lady came to me and gave me directions to reach the Newark- Airport train Boarding point. She cautioned me that the elevator was not functioning and i might have to take the stairs. I saw twelve steps going down. I lifted the heavy suitcase and started walking down as fast as i could to reduce the time of carrying the luggage. I was immediately approached by an African American man in his early thirties and he offered to carry the luggage down. I was very thankful and touched by his concern, however i decided to carry it since it was my luggage and i had to take responsibility for moving it. I boarded the train from Trenton junction to the Newark airport. I reached the flight on time. The whole incident did not strike me as particularly unique. However much later, the two persons who offered assistance struck me as unique. How did the woman know i was looking for this particular station? How did the man read my thoughts and offer help with the luggage? I felt that god sent these people on the way to help me reach my destination. It almost seemed like he had posted these people along the way at different points to ensure i felt god's protection and support. God is indeed extremely compassionate and responds faster than the speed of light. Swamiji is verily god.
