Chapter 135 :  Across life spans

A native of Javagal had settled down in Chickmaglur. He was in constant touch with Gurunatha. He had some farm land near Belavadi and he frequently used to visit the farms and some relatives who lived there. Whenever he came back from such visits Gurunatha used to tell him,” Enough with these relatives and farming, sell off those farmlands.” Around 1995-96, upon Gurunatha’s insistence and owing to some financial pressure, he had to sell those farm lands. But, one thing kept bothering him for quite some time..”Why was Gurunatha so insistent on selling those farm lands?” Within a few months from the time he sold the farms he got an answer to his question. The farms became dry as there was no water and there were no buyers for the farms anymore. The relatives who were dependent on farms were in dire straits and there was an exodus of farmers from that region. Guru’s compassion had saved him and his family from the impeding difficulties.

In another instance, a couple and daughter came to Gurunatha’s house. As they bowed to Gurunatha and stood in front of him, Gurunatha asked them about who they were and what brought them there.

The father spoke and said “Sir, this is my daughter; she is suffering from a peculiar disorder. Whenever she has periods she has severe bleeding, it will not stop for a long time. We have consulted many doctors but in vain. With these words he stood there with folded hands”.

Gurunatha thought for a while and asked him, “I want your daughter to do one thing, it may sound strange, hope you would not mind”.

The couple said “As per your wish Sir”.

Gurunatha got one of his devotees to buy a cigarette and give it to the young girl. He also said, “She should smoke it in the backyard and that is the medicine she needs”

The couple was shocked on hearing this, but recovered in a few minutes.

The girl with great difficulty had a few puffs and came back. Then Gurunatha explained the reason behind this strange remedy. He said,” Sir, your daughter was a man in her previous birth and was a chain smoker. When he was about to die, he died with a wish of smoking a cigarette, that desire has been fulfilled now. The unfulfilled desire was causing problem for this female body. From now on your daughter’s health should improve. The couple and their daughter bowed to Gurunatha and went away.

Charanadasa who was observing all this learnt that day.. Our present bodily ailments might be related to our previous births as well.
