[We were discussing the reasons for Bapi’s premature death.]
I heard another reason at the Mukherjee house – I am telling that now. A young married woman of that house had perhaps epilepsy. The woman passed away sinking in the water when she was cleaning utensils or washing clothes nearby a small pond. The woman’s father’s house was at the village Bijur. The path from Bijur to Banagram on foot and the field was of 25/30 minutes to the maximum. In those days, there were no problems for the villagers to walk just the path. The woman’s father was very much devoted Brahmin. When he was aware of his beloved daughter’s death, he was very much mournful and angry. After then, he came to this house of Banagram rushing on the field. Arriving in this house, he saw her young daughter’s dead body on the premises of this house and at once he cursed, “In this house also, suchlike premature death will take place.” Then Buro Karta ( the father of N’Kaka) went to him and calmed down him and holding his two hands he said to him, “Hey master, I am myself accepting this curse but your curse may not be fallen on my family or the family members of my house. If the premature death occurs, then it must fall on myself. It was one of the reasons for Bapi’s premature death.
The another reasons, I heard from Chhoto Kakima later. If anyone commits unfair works, it returns to him or her. It is fact that this universe is as if a vast “I”. I am thinking that I am little, I am petty, I am different, you are different, he or she is different but this thinking is wrong. If I am hitting anyone, actually I am hitting myself. My hit returns to me. According to this universe’s judgement, as the “I” of Man’s thinking is too little, the hit comes to Him or Her back much times later. But the person who is so higher in consciousness, the reaction for the reason of action comes to him or her back so quickly. Many people say that the result of anyone’s work is not seen in this life i.e a person is not prized or punished for the result of his or her work whether it is good or bad, so why shall I obey it? But any great man can prove that the reaction for the reason of action may happen in this life, even at once.
This case happened to Chhoto Kaka and Chhoto Kakima. The reaction for the reason of action of any of their previous births took place in this life.
Passing this life, Bapi went to the afterlife – during the ‘Dol Purnima’ ( the Hindu festival), 1994. Guru Maharaj made Bapi appear to Chhoto Kakima again during the full moon of the Bengali month ‘Baisakh’.
I am telling the incident. When Guru Maharaj was telling Chhoto Kakima the incidents of her previous birth and reducing her mournings, then Kakima obeyed all these matters but she requested Guruji to make Bapi appear to her once. Then Guruji agreed.
After then, Chhoto Kakima returned to Panipath of Hariyana. It was the night of full moon of the month ‘Baisakh’. Then Kakima saw that Bapi entered the house and took his seat near her. He said,
“Mother, I am hungry too much. Give me some food.” Kakima served Bapi bread and curry. There was a conversation between them after the completion of his eating. Bapi said to his mother, “I am going this time.” His mother replied, “Oh, why are you going this time? Sit here for more times.”
The son said, ” No, no, mother – how shall I spend much more of this?”
Bapi went away. Kakima also went till the outside door following him and saw that Baba Thakur ( Guruji Himself) was standing outside really. When Bapi approached Him, He started to walk taking him.
