When I was 24 years old i had this experience,which is beyond logical explanations.
One fine afternoon,I was discussing subject astrology with an old man namely T ,who was around 60+. Suddenly,we had a visitor namely S,who happened to be a Good friend of T. Here the visitor S invited both of us for a mid day meal on a festival day, which was about to come in next week, to be celebrated in S’s Village. We both gladly agreed to go there accepting his invitation and thanked him.
On the stipulated day we went in a bus and got down in that remote village and started walking into it.To our surprise , we noticed the host S , beneath a big Tamarind tree marking the border of the village,carrying a copper vessel filled with water and ready to go for morning ablution. Villages in India do not have proper Sanitation methods where even the lady folk experience too much hardships in countering the situation.The Host S greeted us with a broad smile on his face, told us to go home and take little rest ,as his Son is awaiting us for the feast and that he (S) would join us little later.We thanked him and started heading homewards.
S’s son was pleased to see us and invited us to start eating turdhal made cake with mango side dish.We diplomatically refused to start eating in the absence of S. S’s Son was so much puzzled by hearing that we await S’s arrival. He was more horrified when we narrated that we met S near the Tamarind tree and he said that he would join us soon. Now, it was his turn to give both of us a shock. HE SAID THAT S HAD PASSED AWAY 10 DAYS BACK.
My old friend and I started gaping at his face,experiencing a cooled chill running through our backbone.
FINALLY,WHAT DID WE SEE ?
