00:00It was in Rishikesh that I had the accident.
00:02Yes, I got hit on my head.
00:03And I could see that my memory was receding.
00:06And that's a purely physical thing.
00:07And I could see I was progressively having trouble
00:10in remembering names, events and stuff.
00:12So I called people and sat down and I said,
00:14if I am gone, this is how the foundation should be run.
00:17This is how the books and the publishings should continue.
00:21This is how the people of the foundation must be financially supported.
00:25Not because I was seeing Yamraj or some other world,
00:27but because I was seeing something very physical, material, tangible.
00:31And that was loss of memory.
00:32I could not remember when was it I took the last session.
00:35I had started losing sense of names.
00:37I could not remember who drove me to Rishikesh.
00:41And I was just lucky that all that lasted only for a few hours.
00:45By the next day, memory was back.
00:47And I had been imparted a nice lesson about the impermanence of life.
00:52There is no mysticism or metaphysical stuff involved in this.
