A few days back I shared a near death experience with my friends on FB and today I am sharing with you.
It was an usual Sunday morning in Darjeeling, a beautiful hill station in West Bengal, India. I was 19. It was winter and the weather was too cold, we had already experienced snowfall that year. I use to live with my mom, dad & brother. The house had a partition between the kitchen & the bathroom....yeah our 2 bed roomed apartment was not so spacious. In winter time my mother use to light a fire out of coal and keep it in the kitchen so that the bathroom remained warm. We were all ignorant of the fact that coal produced methane gas and if this happened in a closed room, it may cause the depletion of oxygen in the room and the person may get killed.
I had just finished bathing and started feeling dizzy. Slowly everything was blur in front of me. I could not open the door, my fingers were numb. I couldn't breathe properly. There was a huge window and I remember tapping on the glass.I could see faces, all blur, shouting at me, but I couldn't hear them. I somehow opened the door and after that I couldn't remember anything.
I was in the most beautiful garden that I had ever seen. It was full of beautiful flowers ..especially I remember, pink, white, blue, purple & yellow. I was all dressed in white walking alone or rather floating. There were narrow paths in between the flower beds. I was in so much peace and happiness. I was alone and I was least bothered about my family or friends. It was an extra ordinary feeling that I can never describe. I don't know for how long I was there.Time had stopped for me. I could hear voices coming from far, very far away. I think I was regaining my consciousness.
When I totally regained my consciousness, my mother was literally yelling in my ear, crying and calling my name, holding me in her arms. I found myself surrounded by neighbors and well wishers and my mom all in tears. I can make out that she thought she had lost me. She asked me afterwards how couldn't I hear her, but I had no answer. For ten minutes I had no connection with the world but I had this wonderful experience that I can never forget in my whole life. My mother was so happy to get me back. And yes that day I think I saw heaven and I forgot everything .
We are born in this world to experience ..suffering, pain,anger,detachment, cruelty, love, hatred, compassion, togetherness..& so many other emotions. We miss all these emotions in Heaven because you are nobody there. But on Earth you are somebody. So experience life and enjoy every moment of it. But make sure which emotions you choose to live your life fully.
