THE CURIOUS CASE OF A CLAIRVOYANT SAINT

THE CURIOUS CASE OF A CLAIRVOYANT SAINT

Scientists contemptuously reject anything that cannot be proved by the existing yardsticks of science.. As an extreme case we see science rejecting the existence of God !! Science is as a matter of fact still in its elementary stage. It is still to find the truth regarding many things.

As a case in point let me remind that scientists scoffed at Yogi Ram charak when in 1904 he claimed (see his book "Fourteen lessons in yogi philosophy and oriental occultism" available free on net) that human body had an electromagnetic field. It was only in nineteen fifties that science discoveted that this was indeed true!!

There are so many persons, unknown to the world who have extraordinary supernatural powers that science cannot yet explain.
Let me narrate an interesting incident giving an idea of the evidence of such powers. It happened two decades back in the case of a senior police officer posted in kumaon hills.
This gentleman, an upright and very bright police officer was expecting a promotion that year. One of his friends in Delhi was to let him know as soon as the orders got issued.

That day, more than two decades back, I was having my early morning cup of tea when the call bell rang. On opening the front door I was surprised to find this gentleman standing outside, sleepy eyed and dishevelled. He had travelled through night by road from the kumaon hills to Lucknow.
After an exchange of greetings the first thing he said was, "I want to see your Pundit Paramhans Misra ji immediately. I have been superseded".

This Pt. Misra was not a senior bureaucrat of the Govt. He was working in UP Govt. department of Irrigation. He lived close to my house. we went there.

We arrived there at eight o'clock morning and were ushered in as there were no other early mornings visitors. After paying respects to him we sat down before pundit Paramhansa Misra.

I had been visiting Pt. Misra off and on for almost two decades prior to the visit and he knew me well. But this gentleman was a new face. So I introduced him.

The first thing Pt. Misra then said on being introduced was :

"congratulations on your well
deserved promotion."

The gentleman was completely taken aback.

"Pundit ji. it is just the other way round. I have been superceded", the gentleman said.

The gentleman then explained how his friend in Delhi was informing him of the developments and how the news of his being superseded made him rush to see panditji.

Panditji brushed this aside with a wave of hand.

He said , "That was ofcourse earlier , at 6 pm. But the file was recalled at the next higher level at 9 pm and the orders were reversed. You have now been promoted. There is no doubt. You can celebrate !".

He even told the name of the officer who reversed the earlier orders!

The first thing we did on return to my place was placing an urgent Trunk call to the Delhi based friend of his. There were no mobile phones then!

On contacting, this Delhi based man burst into excitement , "where have you been? I was trying to speak to you but was told that you had left for Lucknow. Something strange has happened here . Your file was recalled and the orders have been reversed at a higher level. You have been promoted. Congratulations"

"What time were the orders reversed?"

" At about 9 o'clock night"

My experiences with Pt. Paramhansa Misra prove that science is still in its elementary stage so far as explaining these phenomena are concerned.

That reminds me of what the great scientist of Sir Isaac Newton once observed : (QUOTE)

"I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
— Sir Isaac Newton.

Yes! The great ocean of truth still lies all undiscovered before Mankind!
