The old man looked up, stared at me, and then looked down again at the paper. “One thousand years ago,” he said, “you were a king in Karnataka. You were very wealthy and distributed much of your wealth to hospitals, schools, and temples. At end of that life you retired to the forest.
“In your previous birth you had two wives. At the end of that life you prayed, ‘If I take birth again I don’t want to be a grhastha. I want to be a sannyasi and devote all my life to God.’ So in this birth you took sannyasa at the age of 29. Correct?”
“Yes sir,” I replied. “Correct.”
“It is the result of your previous actions and desires,” he said. “In this birth you’ll get immense blessings from your spiritual master.Because your chosen path is bhakti you won’t take birth again. You’ll be liberated at the end of this life. You’ll live into old age, and you’ll die a natural death. You won’t die from a prolonged illness.”
