Her decision will very much affect her future life. You have written that she should be practical. Agreed. Now the question is, "What will be practical decision for her? To marry the person or not to marry him?" Very often because of current problems, we take some decision which solves the problem temporarily but gives us much more problems in future. The question is what decision will make her future better. There are both advantages and disadvantages in marrying that person. The advantage is that her financial problems will be solved. But there is disadvantage also. Once her financial problems are solved, won't she latter on feel that she should have married someone with whom she can have attachment? (As you have written, she has no emotional attachment with this person). Also, can this man be really trusted? Why is he interested in her? Is he really trying to help her or is he just taking advantage of her situation? What about other people in that man's family? Will they accept her? The answer to this situation is not simple. Pros and cons have to be weighed. And, I do not think that she can alone take the correct decision because she must be affected so much by her financial problems that she would not think of anything other than solving these problems; she may not be able to think about the future. So somebody who is really concerned about her should talk to her and help her in reaching the proper decision.

Is it a must that we should find the answer to this question in shastras only? Can't we use our experience?

jndas ji, Very often I find that I am not able to read all the replies in a post.

I took medicines and also milk. (I never take tea and coffee). My uncle believes in astrology. So, he must have got his astrological chart prepared. But, I do not know what is there in that because I never asked him. Even if I had asked, I would not have understood a thing. And Shvu, I have not watched the movie Majboor. I am not sure about my brothers. May be that when I was away from my house for study, then they might have watched. Or, may be they also have not watched.

My previous post was in response to Shvu's question if my uncle got a vision of anything good.

My previous post was in response to Shvu's question if my uncle got a vision of anything good.

Let me give one example. You may not believe but it is true. Once I was feeling extreme weakness. I suddenly fainted while working. My colleagues took me to hospital. It was found that I had extremely low BP. After getting hospitalised for a few days, I was discharged. After about two months, I went to my home town in order to settle my sister's marriage. There also, I suddenly started feeling giddiness. Without telling anyone, I went to a hospital. The doctor was either an extremely wicked person or completely ignorant. He named some disease. I do not remember what word he used. I started thinking "May be I am not aware of medical terms and therefore I have not heard of this disease." According to the doctor, I had to undergo an operation which was going to cost a lot. If I did not undergo operation very fast, I would die in just a few months. After much thinking over this I decided to choose death. Because I had saved some money for my sister's marriage. I did not want to spend money on myself and leave her unmarried. Also, I had responsibilities towards my younger brothers. I started thinking "If I spend all money on my operation and still do not survive, then what will happen to them?" I wanted them to live with dignity (i.e. without being dependent on others) even after my death. I did not want to borrow from anybody (just because of self respect). I decided to get my sister married fast enough and then save as much money as I could in my brothers' names. I used to keep very quiet. Everybody used to ask me as to what had happened. But I used to just bring forced smile on my face and say that nothing happened. During my sister's marriage, my uncle asked me if any doctor had told me about some big disease. I was surprised but I lied to him that no doctor had said any such thing. Then he said that he had a vision. In the vision, I was consulting some doctor in Bangalore. I was showing the doctor some prescription and asking him if I had any serious disease. Then I asked my uncle as to what the doctor would say. He said that I would have to undergo a few tests and nothing serious would be found in that. Then I asked him as to what disease if any would be found. He said "something low". But he could not say "low what" but said that it would not be some very serious disease. Still I did not tell my uncle the truth. My uncle started thinking that the first time his vision was going to be false. After my sister's marriage, I came back to Bangalore with my brothers (they are studying here). I started depositing money in my brothers' accounts. They used to ask me as to why I was doing that when I was with them. They used to tell me to keep money in my account only. But I did not listen. I used to always tell them to learn to be independent and to learn to distinguish between good and bad people. They were very much surprised by my behaviour because before that I never gave them such teachings. I even started searching jobs for them even though I had earlier told them not to worry about job without finishing their studies. I was fully convinced that I was going to die fast. Then one evening, I suddenly decided to go to a clinic. Everything happened as my uncle had told. Lots of tests were done. Then I came to know that doctor in my home town was wrong. He must be wrong because I am still alive. (I was found to be having low calcium.) I have still not said about all these to anyone in my family or relation. Since I was fully convinced about my death, I will consider this as an auspiscious vision.

That was another question. Has your uncle had visions of auspicious happenings? Yes, he had.

With due respect, we don't know if God has a hand in this. It may be a natural phenomena (Actually when we think about it, it has to be that). It is quite possible. Take one example. Let us assume that I am inside a room. All doors and windows are closed so that no disturbance can come from outside. I throw a stone in order to hit a wall. The stone hits the wall at some location. The moment the stone left my hand it was destined to hit the wall at that location. There are material laws. (In this case equation of a projectile motion). Isn't it possible that there are some laws that even govern behaviour of people?

Why do I sometimes dream of things before they happen? (Not such big things as a plane crash, but more personal things, usually.) That happens to me too. But unfortunately, none of these are good. I mean I dream about only bad incidents. I recall many dreams when I dreamt about something bad and that really happened. I tried to prevent them but could not. For prevention I told many people not to do a few things which they had decided to do. But, they did not listen to me. But I do not remember a single dream when I dreamt about something good and that happened. As I said, not even a single.

Doesn't these visions becoming true indicate that many things were destined to happen even before they happened? As an example, we can say that the plane accident was destined to happen a few days before it really happened.

Unfortunately, these visions come to them without any effort/action on their part. So it cannot be copied or reproduced by others. Yes, you are right. When I asked my uncle as to how he gets these visions, his answer was that he himself did not know, he just gets them.

Shvu, Have you seen the movie "hundred days" It is a Hindi movie. In that the actress gets vision. But she sees that in a dream while my uncle gets the vision when he is awake.

If you want to know his profession, he is a retired chief engineer (civil).

Shvu, I knew that you would ask these questions. Yes, I was present there. His all predictions have come true. He feels as if he is seeing things clearly, not just hearing. When he gets a vision, he gives description of what he saw. Regarding plane accident, the description given by him was exactly the same as the description of the place where the accident happened. He even mentioned the writings on one sign board. But he did not mention date. I know him very well as he is in my relation. He is my mausa ji (my mother's elder sister's husband).
