“Two things.”
Two things. One, if this question which is earlier asked, I never dip into any philosophical answer for this kind of questions. All I do usually is, I hold their hand, and share partake in their suffering. No philosophy can answer, can heal. No philosophy can answer, can, create a helpless situation. Only, sharing their suffering, and just, trying to help them, to heal, is the only, solution. If I had the answer, if I have to use few words, I can say, we don’t know the full, life. Please understand. Life does not mean, 7 to 8 years you are living the planet earth. It is much more than that. So we don’t know the full reason. He may not even have much karmas to, come to completion. He might have had only little karmas left, little bit to finish. So he came and finished that, doesn’t want to acquire more, and he has, went back.
[00:01:56] And I tell you one incident, which really happened. There was a, 4 year old baby, brought to me, autistic baby, for healing. Please understand, this is a real incident happened in USA. He was brought, he was born and brought up in the Jew family. The child was brought to me, for healing. I put the hand on the child, and started it means. Usually I don’t have any, I don’t create any Sankalpa to heal at the beginning or anything. I just put the hand and relaxed into the inner space, and connect with the, life, which is reflecting in the other body. So the moment I connected, the child started speaking in Tamil. He started telling me, “remove your hand. I don’t want you to heal me,” in a very, village Tamil, in a singular, not even a, cultured way.
[00:02:57] First thing, I was shocked. How this child speaking, Tamil because he was born and brought up in the Jew family and, I asked them. They said, “no chance Swamiji. I never spoke single word Tamil. How he speak in Tamil, we don’t know.” I asked, “I thought maybe some, possessed, some, he’s possessed.” I asked, “why are you saying to me, not to heal you. Why are you asking me to?” Takes my hands he told me in Tamil ‘Kaiyi edada’. There’s a word, in a, very colloquial Tamil. A singular, just a, “remove your hands.”
[00:03:38] And I asked the child, “Why are you asking me to remove my hands, remove my hands, I’m healing you after all.” He said, “I don’t want to be healed. I purposely took this kind of body and mind.” And I asked him, “Why? Why did you take birth as autistic child?” He said, “I’m tired of working and making money and running my life. This time I decide I will not take the responsibility. I want somebody to take care of me, so I took this kind of body and mind.” I told him, “that is ok, but your parents are such nice people. They are good people, you are giving suffering to them, why did you take birth to them, they are, very good people.” He says, “I took birth to them because they are good people. They will take care of me.”
[00:04:27] Somebody else thinks they will not take care of me. Because they are good people, I took birth to them. And he’s conversing with me, clearly in Tamil. Very fluent, clear as 4 year old child. And after few minutes, of course, when that pain is closed, you can’t, heal or, he won’t be able to do anything. I have to take my hands, off him. And that boy said thank you, for, having respect for my intentions. Thank you for having respect for. Because, an Enlightened consciousness can, go beyond. But I said no. No question of interfering, in his freedom, in his life. He’s thanking me very clearly he told me, in Tamil very clearly, “thank you for respecting, my intentions, to live.”
[00:05:20] Please understand, I am not justifying I am not philosoph, I am not philosophising or, I am not trying to give you any words. I’m just sharing, this one incident. If it helps you, if it heals you, let that healing happen. That is all I can say. With this incident shows very clearly, we are, clearly deciding, the parents, place, everything, everything. Please be very clear. We are responsible. We are responsible. Only thing, we forget, after landing, all the reasons why we took the decision. We forget, after landing we forget, the reasons, or the, mental set-up, with which we took this decision. Just because we forget the reasons we start blaming the decision. We start blaming, the decision.
[00:06:22] Please understand. Stand up, and be very clear. You are responsible, for all the decisions. Then at least, now you will have openness, the clarity, freedom, to change your decisions, for the future, you change, for the, next life. So, I don’t think, this, what you say this, the kind of situations, or accidents, may be, their individual decisions. If this idea heals you, gives you the mental inner healing, accept this idea, allow this, it’s ok. The, there is no other word, or no other, philosophy can, help you.
