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.
