There lived an ascetic in a village called Kamnagar. The villagers used to approach him with their problems. And the baba used to fulfill all their wishes. A couple arrives at the baba’s feet… Babaji, we desperately need fifty thousand rupees. But we are unable to get help from anywhere. Do not worry. Peacefully go back home. You will find fifty thousand rupees in your wardrobe.
None of Babaji’s words ever proved to be false. The couple found fifty thousand rupees in their wardrobe as soon as they reached home. With Babaji’s miracles people’s faith in him increased. Whatever people asked from Babaji, they received it with his blessings.
However, Babaji used to arrive in the village only on the new moon day. No one knew where he would be on other days. People used to gossip that Babaji used to go to the forest to attain different powers for the welfare of human beings. Narendra, a resident of Kamnagar had also heard all these things. He had himself seen some miracles of Babaji. But he never asked Babaji for anything. He desired only one thing from Babaji… that was his powers. He used to dream about fulfilling his own desires using these powers, not those of others. A number of times, he followed Babaji
. He used to go into the jungle following Babaji. However, he could never figure out where Babaji would disappear after entering the dense forest. Finally on a new moon day, he finally mustered some courage and asked Babaji about his powers. He also tried to find out more about what one should do to obtain these mystical powers. Babaji, I want to obtain powers like you using which I can obtain the things that I desire in my mind. What will I have to do for it, Babaji?
Don’t even think of it, Narendra. You ask me whatever you want. I will manifest it for you. Just don’t be stubborn to obtain this power. No Babaji, I don’t want anything else from you. Just give me that power, Babaji. I am ready to do anything for it, anything… Even after Babaji tried to dissuade him many times, Narendra continued to repeatedly follow him. He just wanted the power using which he could obtain the things that he desired in his mind. Finally, one night Babaji took him along in the jungle. He even became ready to give him the mystical powers.
Narendra… remember this… this is not a power but a curse… a curse which will kill you every moment of your life. It doesn’t bother me, Babaji. I just want the powers to fulfill all my wishes. Alright then. But you will have to wait for eight years for it. Eight years? But why Babaji? What will I do for eight years? I will tell you everything, but first go… go to the village and get a homeless boy. The boy’s age should be one day at the most.
Take good care of the kid for 8 years and do not leave any of his desires unfulfilled. After 8 years, I will meet you in the cave beyond this jungle. Trust me. I will give you that power after 8 years. Saying thus, Babaji went into the jungle. Narendra had only one crazy desire in his mind, that of obtaining the mystical power. To obtain it, he was even ready to commit any crime. After searching for a long time, he finally found a child in an orphanage who was two days old.
Narendra adopted him and brought him home. He took care of him as if he was his own child. He used to give the child whatever he asked for, no matter whether Narendra possessed money or not. He used to give the child expensive toys, and sweets as well as cashew and almond in the everyday food. His loan started accumulating day by day. But Narendra never disappointed the child. Sometimes, he used to feel uncertain how will I obtain mystical powers due to this child? What if Babaji has cheated me? Even after getting such thoughts he took good care of the child for 8 years.
On the new moon day, Babaji arrived in the village. He called Narendra near and asked him to bring the child in the cave on the following night. Narendra, bring the child tomorrow without telling anyone. Make the child fast for the entire day. While bringing him at night, carry his favourite sweets too. Narendra was happy. He had fulfilled all the wishes of the child all these years. Now it was time for his desires to be fulfilled. On the next day, he was desperately waiting for the night. Finally in the night, Narendra reached the cave along with the child. It was too frightening. Not only the child, but even Narendra was frightened seeing the scene. Babaji was performing a fire ritual.
There was a skull in front of him which was full of blood. Babaji made Narendra sit in front of him and sprinkled some blood on him. And then Babaji started uttering some mantras. The scared child was sitting beside him. Child, are you hungry? Yes, I want food. As instructed by Babaji, Narendra fed him a laddu. The innocent child who was hungry for the entire day ate all the laddus without a thought.
He did not even realize that Babaji had given his big sword to Narendra. Narendra, The child will ask for water after eating the laddus. But before he asks for water, slash off his head. Narendra was scared after hearing this. whom he had cared for in the past 8 years and fulfilled his every need. He was terrified of the idea of killing the same child with his own hands But it was time to achieve the mystical powers after these 8 years.
Narendra was now only focussed on achieving the powers and he was determined. I will not let my 8 years go in vain. Beta, did you eat all the sweets? Yes, father. Do you want to eat anything else? No, father. Have all your desires been fulfilled? Yes. Narendra was looking strange as if he was possessed. Father, I am very thirsty. Can I get a little…
The sword strikes and drops of blood are sprayed everywhere. Narendra killed the child with his own hands in one blow. He was completely drenched from head to toe. Then Babaji lifted the slain head allowing the blood from it drop into the nearby tank. He then asked Narendra to bath in the tank and said that he will obtain the powers immediately after the bath. Narendra entered the tank which was full of blood. He was shivering while having the bath.
Slowly, he started realizing the crime he had committed. It was now that he came to terms with the seriousness of the crime he had done. Immediately after having the bath, he said to Babaji, Babaji, have I obtained the powers? It was then that he saw the spirit of the child crying and coming towards him from behind Babaji. Narendra was utterly shocked to see him. Father, father…why did you kill me? What was my fault? Scared of the child’s questions, Narendra ran to Babaji. Babaji, Babaji, I can see my boy. I shouldn’t have killed him, Babaji… I have done a big mistake. Father, you have fulfilled all my wishes till now. Then at least give me some water… I am thirsty. Just give me some water.
The child is still asking me for water. I had already told you before. This is not a mystical power but a curse, a great curse. Narendra, you have now achieved it. The crying child’s spirit will follow you for your life. He will keep on asking you for water. Whatever your wish, you can ask this spirit. If you desire gold, then tell him Beta, first get me a hundred gold coins, then I will give you water. You wish will be fulfilled. When you want money, tell the spirit Get me ten thousand rupees. Only then will I give you water. It will go on for your life. This is the mystical power you wanted.
Hearing this, Narendra was terrified. He found the ground beneath his feet tremble. Out of fear, he started running away from that place like a crazy person. The child’s spirit immediately started following him. As soon as he reached home, he saw his child’s spirit standing with his own head in his hands. Papa And he fainted. Now the child’s spirit constantly follows him and asks him for water. Father, please give me some water… Narendra is unable to bear this anymore. He is no longer in a state to get his wishes fulfilled from the child. Narendra has stopped eating food and has fallen sick.
The villagers believed that due to losing his child, that he has fallen sick. But only Narendra knows the truth. Only he could see the spirit and hear his cries. Now, all he wanted is to be free from the spirit. His child’s spirit repeatedly asking for water would not let him live or even die peacefully. Narendra used to stay at home and keep on weeping. He used to repeatedly seek the child’s forgiveness. Father, give me water. Please give me some water.
I am severely thirsty. At least, give me some water…father. Please forgive me, my child… please forgive me. But the child was not seeking an apology… all he wanted was some water! Father, give me water.
