How Death Comes

Another Ashram experience I will tell you. A sister and brother had all kinds of problems. “Somebody” requested me in the inner world to go and help their family. I listened to that individual, and inwardly I helped them. The following day the family went to that individual to offer gratitude and gratitude. But that individual said to the family, “Offer all your gratitude to Chinmoy.”

At around two o’clock I was drinking water when somebody put his arm on my back. I was startled. I said, “What happened?”

The person said, “This morning we offered gratitude to somebody, and that person told us that it was you who saved us.”

The man who gave me this message passed away only a month ago. He went to the laundry to collect his garments. On the way he fell down in the street and died. This is how death comes.

Again, somebody at the Ashram who had no disease said, “I am going to die today, because I will invoke my Master and he has to take me.” Everybody laughed. At around ten o’clock at night he said this. Then he left the body. Early in the morning they came and saw that he had died peacefully in his sleep. That kind of connection some of the Ashramites had with Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. For so many years they had such a close connection with the Master. The Master said, “All right, granted.”
