He was enjoying hearing it and turned to me with a childish smile.
He said to me," Now you know that it was not a jock".
I told him," But we are too much disturbed as we will have to maintain
two accommodation….".
My father interrupted, " We will be thrown from our house. I am
retired and can't maintain another accommodation to support my rest of the
family. You know that I have to look after my other unemployed and unmarried
children".
He said angrily," It is not so easy to revert as the arrow has already
left for the target".
My father said," But that arrow is going to hit me too. I have come to
you as I have a firm faith on your knowledge. Please do something to help us.
My son is ignorant of your powers".
He started looking at the moon as we were waiting for his reaction.
After a few minutes of silence he said to my father," He thought I was
joking. Had he requested me at that moment this would not have happened".
He told to my father," OK, you make a simple representation from your
side and submit that personally to the person who has signed his transfer
orders. Take your wife too along with you."
He turned to me and said smiling," 20 years stay is granted. I think
it is enough for you".
I said," Certainly".
My father did what he suggested and the transfer orders got cancelled
immediately. After 20 years I got another transfer but the mystery man was no
more alive. I opted for voluntary retirement.
During the past years I kept meeting him occasionally and tried to know his
mysterious power. He narrated me his many interesting experiences. He told me
that he has attained a power of "siddhi" for his voice. With this
power whatever he will speak will come true. I asked him how he could do that.
He replied," I got it from my Guru. He gave me a mantra that I chanted
for 40 days. The chanting was to be done exact number of times during 40
nights".
He continued," During the 40th night after I completed the
ritual, I felt relaxed and was feeling sleepy. I told to myself that sleep is
disturbing me. If I can live without sleep it will be wonderful. The next
moment I was not feeling sleepy. I felt receiving a message that from now I
will not be required to sleep. Strangely, for several years I never felt the
need to sleep".
I said, " But how is it possible? No one can survive without
sleep".
He said," I am surviving by external energy. You can see me totally
dried up as a skeleton. If you cut my arm with a blade there won't be any
bleeding".
Once he told me that he knows how to go out of his body. He had interacted
with many souls enjoying out of body experience. He also told me that his
first out of body experience was by chance during his meditation practice. He
too was stunned to find himself floating around his body. During that period
he saw a strange world of souls. He was being looked as alien in a strange
kingdom. When he was completely lost in enjoying the strange world and was
moving away from his body, some soul warned him not to go too far and not to
remain too long under this condition. When he told the soul that he never
intended to come here and do not know how to go back, that soul held his arm
and pushed him towards his body and warned to be careful in future. The next
moment he found himself in his body.
When I asked him, " Do you believe in Ghosts". He replied,"
Yes, there are different types of them. I had a very bad experience when I
tried to be friendly with a better type. They need you more than you actually
need them. When he tried to capture them he himself became hostage to them. It
was very difficult to get rid of them. Only the power of "siddhi"
saved me from their clutches. In fact my imprisonment to them prompted me to
acquire this higher power." I was getting a little frightened and asked
him," How can they harm you". He replied," They are most
naughty, mischievous and fearless. Once they find some friendly human they
will always like him to be engaged with them".
I again asked him," But they can hold any body as a hostage, even a
person like me." He replied," No, till you surrender to them they
won't over power you. More over there are many, some from your family
ancestors, and they are always there to protect you.
Some Muslim scholar also narrated me same type of experience. He told me
that he used to keep these friendly ghosts busy with some useless job during
his sleeping time or when he wanted privacy. He used to ask them to go on
climbing the stairs up and down till his further orders. He told me that he
could show me his captured ghosts through the reflection of water under
special conditions. But I refused to go for it.
This "siddhi" man also told me about our late Prime Minster Mr.
Morarji Desai. He said, " You know this urine crazy man Morarji Desai?
Yes I am talking about our ex prime minister. We both used to go to the same
place of worship to learn new things. He learnt the art of breaking up his
body momentarily in fine particles and can reunite them again. He has made
himself accident proof. He desired to have more powers and longer life. But he
has wasted his time as ultimately he is going to loose both".
I was never ready to believe most of their experiences without proper
scientific evidence, but I never rejected it like other scientists since I was
not having any scientific grounds to go against it. It can be a conditioning
of brain. If we can train our brain not to feel certain realities like pain,
hunger etc. we can train it to believe certain unreality too. The brain
appears to have no brain, as it doesn't have the power to distinguish between
a reality and unreality. It does not know the art of independent thinking.
I had met the "siddhi" man in the year 1972 when I was 27 years
of age and he was about 60 years old. A very thin and pale person as if there
was no blood in his body. We used to talk for hours while standing, but he
never felt tired. Once when I could not stand any longer I guessed that he
might too be feeling tired and asked him if he would like to go to the nearby
coffeehouse. His every reply used to be unexpected. He replied, " No I
never get tired".
I had interaction with several persons who are expert in the art of
prediction. But many of their predictions came untrue. Their predictions used
to be based on the planetary positions. But the person I am talking about, who
claimed to be in possession of some strange power "Siddhi", was
beyond my comprehension. The very first time when I was going to see him, he
appeared beforehand in my dream. It was a little different dream. In the dream
I was aware of my exact posture of sleeping. I saw him standing near my bed
exactly in front my face. He was leaning on my head and watching my face very
attentively. I woke up immediately as his face was a little frightening. I
just opened my eyes to see if there was any person. No, it was a dream. The
same day in the evening, when I came back from my office, I found the same
person sitting in my room. I got stunned to recognize him. My father
introduced me by saying," He is my same son that I was talking
about". I just shot back," Who is this person? I saw him the
previous night in my dream". My father replied," He is my old
friend. He is a religious person." I turned to the strange man and
inquired from him," How can I see you in my dream when we have never met
before". He did not reply but posed momentarily exactly the way he was
looking at me in my dream. Then he turned to my father to continue their
discussion.
