Hello All,
Welcome again to my Abode!
Over 40 years ago, I was engrossed in my daily office routine when a few of my college buddies unexpectedly dropped by. It had been over a year since we last saw each other, and I was thrilled to have them there. As the top dog of my company, I was fortunate enough to have the freedom that comes with wealth and power. So, I assigned all my unfinished tasks for the day to my executive assistant, determined to spend as much time as possible with my dear friends and enjoy their company for the rest of the day.
When my friends came over for their visit, they brought a man named Ravi with them, whom they introduced to me as a master’s degree holder in Hindi literature who was currently job-hunting. The reason for their inclusion of Ravi in their visit was because he was deeply submerged into meditation and claimed to gifted enough perceive certain vibrations from those seated in front of him, which he asserted allowed him to discern a lot of information about them. He even alleged to possess some kind of extraordinary connection with a higher power. Being sceptical of those who make grandiose claims, having encountered many schemers in my lifetime, I asked Ravi to read my aura and tell me if he detected any unsavoury revelations, giving him a sceptical look. Despite my scepticism, Ravi did not appear to be fazed by my expression, as he had probably seen similar expressions innumerable times before. However, I was genuinely impressed by his response; he informed me that I was an open book with no secrets, let alone unpleasant ones.
As we continued with our get-together, two of my younger brothers unexpectedly arrived. They too were introduced to Ravi and his supposed state of enlightenment, and in a mocking tone, they asked him to discern something about them. He responded by informing them that he would need to examine their auras one by one in an isolated room. Thus, Ravi took both brothers separately to a vacant room, and within fifteen minutes, he had given each of them his verdict. When my brothers returned to the main room, they were thrilled and astounded, their expressions filled with disbelief. While I am unsure what Ravi had revealed to them, both of them exclaimed, “How could he know? Only I knew about that!” Additionally, my friends told me that Ravi was indeed an exalted being. Despite his young age, which was comparable to mine, Ravi had seemingly attained what only a few could achieve in a lifetime of devotion and supplication – the “connection.”
A year after our initial meeting, Ravi contacted me and requested an urgent discussion. He presented me with a grave vision that he had received, regarding the collapse of our business house in the near future. Despite my disbelief and shock at the mere idea, he was unwavering in his conviction. Our business establishment was one of the most prominent in the city, with assets worth billions at that time. The mere thought of it failing was completely unfathomable. The possibility of it even slightly diminishing in status was non-existent.
As I listened to Ravi’s warning, I couldn’t help but think that he had lost his mind. However, within two years of our conversation, his prediction had incredibly come true. Our highly successful and lucrative business house had not only collapsed but had been decimated. Our golden days had faded into oblivion, and our demise continues to be a topic of discussion among people, even 40 years after the tragic event. Fate can indeed be so capricious. I still ponder why Ravi had forewarned me of the disastrous outcome. He had perceived a pure and untainted soul within me and wished to advise me, so that I could brace myself for the eventual catastrophe. Nonetheless, I chose not to believe his warning as it made no sense and was not supported by any calculation or logic. However, the event still came to fruition, catching everyone off guard. It was unprecedented and so inconceivable that it was impossible to accept. I am sharing this devastating experience to emphasize that messages are sent to us from “undefinable” sources. One may argue that Ravi, being an educated adult, may have calculated the potential downfall, but this seems unlikely as our business was flourishing, and we were the envy of our competitors and respected throughout the business community. Initially, I dismissed Ravi’s prediction, reasoning that as a humble Hindi lecturer, he was unlikely to have a grasp of the business environment. Furthermore, the future seemed so bright and full of promise that a potential collapse seemed entirely out of the question. However, when I consider the inexplicable events that have come to pass, I am reminded of a moment in 2018 when my two-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter whispered in my ear, “Nanu, never be afraid of death, death is nothing.” While we can speculate on the meaning of these occurrences, they leave me questioning life’s mysteries, as they seem beyond my understanding. It was in 2018 when my daughter was visiting from Ludhiana and was enjoying her summer vacation with us in our Faridabad residence. My precious granddaughter, Mehar, who was just two and a half years old at the time, had shared the profound words of “never be afraid of death” with me. It was bewildering to hear such a serious message from a young child who had no concept of what death entails. Sceptics might argue that she could have heard those words somewhere, but why would she divulge this information only to me? As I have previously mentioned, I have received messages throughout my life, some direct and some indirectly. These messages have come in various forms, from dreams to conversations with innocent souls such as my granddaughter or even from people like Ravi. However, for those who remain unconvinced, I can share an incredible conversation I had with my granddaughter Mehar, which would put all doubts to rest.
My granddaughter, Mehar, had paid us another visit approximately six months ago. One evening, while soaking up the balmy weather on the balcony, I was joined by Mehar, who was now seven and a half years old. Although she is typically a soft-spoken, gentle soul, that night she began speaking articulately like a grown-up, catching me off guard. She abruptly stated, “Nanu, when the universe ends…” I immediately interrupted her with a reassuring “No, my dear, the world will never end.” She respectfully rebutted, stating with a surprising amount of conviction for someone her age, “No, Nanu. The world will definitely end one day.” I was speechless, allowing her to continue uninterrupted. With an air of authority akin to a master speaking to a pupil, she posed a thought-provoking question, “When the world is reborn, will a new God emerge, or will the old God persist?”
The question posed by my granddaughter left me in a state of shock. I marvelled at the depth of her thought processes and how a child could pose such a profound and critical question, arguably the most important in the history of humanity. I couldn’t help but ponder where this level of certitude came from, that she was so sure of the cataclysmic event that was bound to happen in the distant future. It felt as if someone had “informed” her, or perhaps she had “witnessed” the event firsthand. I was astounded and wondered if this idea had been conjured up out of nowhere or if there was something to it beyond our scope of understanding. It is baffling to comprehend how a child could possess such an intricate thought that even few adults are aware of – the possibility of a catastrophic future event. It wasn’t just the knowledge of this occurrence that was unsettling; it was the query she posed that seemed otherworldly. It was a question that wouldn’t even cross the minds of the vast majority of people, let alone a child. How could such a thought occur to her? The answer lay in the fact that only those individuals who receive lucid “messages” with no ambiguity, whose minds are uncluttered, have the potential to conceive of such thoughts. These individuals are mostly children, whose minds are still pure and untarnished, whose utensils are still somewhat empty. And extremely rare few who have made themselves capable to be the recipients. I will elaborate on this aspect in subsequent instalments of this series when I would divulge the true significance of 108.
This particular incident took place within the confines of my own home and involved someone close to me. This begs the question of how reliable the account can be, especially given the possibility that sceptics may not even understand the context of the conversation. Can such doubters ever be convinced of the fact that people can receive messages? Are there any well-known individuals who have openly shared their experiences about such lucid messages?
The answer is yes – there are people in the public eye who have claimed to be the recipients of such messages. There are numerous individuals who have claimed to receive these messages, but I will share the stories of just a couple of such “enlightened” people. The first was a world-renowned mathematician, hailed as one of the greatest of all time. The second is an exceptional artist who attributes her work to God’s direct instructions.
Would you be willing to wait until next Saturday when I will disclose their identities and share their unparalleled accomplishments in their respective fields?
As a word of advice, I implore you not to dismiss any thoughts or ideas that appear in your mind, as they may not be mere ephemeral fancies but rather profound “messages” of great significance.
Signing off.
