Hi there,
i never wanted to write but suddenly a thought came into my mind in the middle of the night (at 1p.m ) which made me narrate what i experienced yesterday.
it starts with nothing was ever going to happen. i was lying in the room at my home as i was not well. i was feeling lethargic. Suddenly, my father tells me to drive him to the bus station as he had to go to my other home. Usually, my father tells me to drive him to a nearby bus-stop where he catches a city bus and goes to the bus station. I certainly do not hope to drop him on that bus-stop and drive him all the way but that never happens. With the same mindset, i set forward to drop him. But things never go as you think it. When we reached to the bus-stop, he drove forward. I was not unhappy but the sluggishness feeling irritated me. The surprises than started to drop in intervals. My father did not took me to the bus-stop but instead we went to a merchant to collect something that was ordered. I am least interested in the business of my father ( at least this business of the two) so it was just considered to be a normal event.
we reached the shop. my father asked for the order but it was not yet prepared. he was a bit furious. i did not care though. they told us to wait. In the shop, there were 3 people. There was the owner ( 84 year old man which i came to know later), owner's son and owner's younger brother. My father was talking to the younger brother of the owner. When we were there, i did not have a glimpse of the owner. He was lying behind the desk as he was supposed to do. He had to do no work. I noticed the strength of his hearing and interpreting things later when i understood his enormous strengths. As soon as my father asked for the order, the owner engaged himself in the activity of bringing the order here ( it happened right in front of me but i took it as a pass-by event). I was amazed later how good his hearing powers were. Then, we had to sit there for an hour as said. I told my father that i would drop you first and than go to my friend's place and as the hour ends i would come and collect the order. But i had to experience what is coming next so my father decided to stay.
Suddenly, an old friend of my father passed from there. My father noticed him, called him and talked to him. The reason i am mentioning it is because the conversation with the owner was not bound to happen if that friend of my father had not passed through. There was a topic in conversation of my father with his old friend which intrigued the owner and attracted him to talk to my father ( although he liked to talk to people (he calls it 'satsang') which i came to know later). After that old friend parted, my father and the other started talking.
I was least interested in the conversation as i do not like those talks. But i kept hearing it. Soon i found that the owner is an expert in what he does. He is known for his work in the market. He has established greatness in his work. Apart from this, he has a vast range of experience of which i saw a glimpse. I would say he was an awesome person. I certainly got attracted to the talk. The talk was all worldly but it portrayed that man's knowledge which i was flabbergasted to see! I was also astounded with the energy with which he spoke and also the energy with which he acted. The most shocking part was when he asked my father that, "Have you watched the movie, Oh my god?". I laughed for a moment. I do not know whether it is a normal event for you all or not but certainly it was something extraordinary that happened to me that day. I just could not imagine that an 84 year old man could know all such. Certainly there are such older people who are energetic but i could not gulp the fact that he had all the knowledge about what was going on in the world especially movies. I really do not hope any elderly person to have knowledge of movies. This event was astounding. I felt happy that i had gone with my father and be there. Although, i believe that it was bound to happen. I could not stop myself imagining that what could be the IQ level of that person? What he could have become if he had not been working at the shop? A man with that energy in his days of youth would have been extraordinary. I also learned many things from him that you should always be energetic, never believe in those babas ( although i had belief in it before i met him) or the gurus who are all 'pakhandi' (fraud). I believe such an incident should happen everyday in one's life so that you can learn more....
