Because everything that has ever happened to us is permanentlyheld in karmic memory, it is as if it is constantly happening, and we are alwaysexperiencing it. Imagine that someone is continually hitting you – you would neverstop feeling it. This is the case with karmic memories; they never stop being there andyou never stop hurting. They are called karmic memories because they stay with you fromlifetime to lifetime, stored in our karmic self.At the age of 29, the author Ruzbeh N Bharucha wasbroke and unemployed. He had lost all his money in the stock market. The only thing he wasleft with was his ability to play with words. Having worked in a newspaper and a magazineon alcohol, he felt the solution to his problems could be writing a book.

He went to apublisher friend for help, only to be told that the publishing house doesn’t publishfiction. Though written in a fictional format, the book has personal stories.Ruzbeh started meeting people who were mediums. Hebelieves Sai Baba of Shirdi is working on him and the book ‘The Fakir’ is theoutcome. The book tries to find answers to complex questions in life. It emphasises howmaterial attachment is not going to help. We all know we are going to die and won’ttake even a rusted nail with us after death. You come with your karma and you go with yourkarma — that is what the book talks about.The Fakir reflects the writer’s spiritualideology.

It narrates the story of an itinerant, Rudra, and a ‘fakir’ who guideshim through levels of existence into the realm of afterlife. Rudra, a seeker, transformsinto the lover and begins to comprehend the ancient philosophy of “free will”.It speaks about karma, divine action, channeling and above all spirituality.

It’s nota smooth read but recommended if you are into spirituality.After reading the book one can realize that it isgoing to change the philosophy about life. That the good thing about life is that it ends.But after the spiritual experiences, one can start thinking that the good thing about lifeis that it never ends. It also makes you a more responsible person.The Fakir is the result of all the messages theauthor ‘received’ from Sai Baba, so it is meaty. His tryst with Sai Baba andexperiences people have had with him. Finally, it’s all Baba’s grace.It is a spiritual voyage of a hippie Rudra, whowas about to commit suicide and saved by Baba. Baba having a sense of humor guides him andto go through karmic cleansing process.Shirdi Sai Baba says, “As our karma is lodgedin the causal body, the only way one can clear one’s karma is by making the causalbody clean, strong, and receptive to the cosmic energy.

The stronger one’s causalbody gets, the faster our karmic illness attached to the causal body is burnt away. Thefastest way of making the causal body strong and glow is via meditation. Thus, the fastestway to clear our karmic shit-pot is also through the shower of cosmic energy throughmeditation.”Although a Parsi, the author’s philosophyoutlines the boundaries of organised religion. Calling it a book on oneness, the authorsays, “I believe in oneness. For me spirituality has nothing to do with traditionalforms of worship.

Spirituality is beyond religion, it goes to the source. It explores thegodhood in each one of us.”The essence of spirituality can exist, therefore,even in actions that are frowned upon by religion and the religious. “Suppose if I amvery angry, and I am going to scream my head off at someone who doesn’t deserve it,and in that moment, if I light up a smoke, then trust me, that smoking has an essence ofspirituality because it has allowed me to behave in a more dignified manner. It is aspiritual act then.”Finally in one sentence the book is gripping forthose who are into spiritual quest and going through certain Karmic debt.

Baba says,”I am always by your side, when you think of me. If you want me by your side every moment,then simply think about me every moment.”Copyright © 2014 RuzbehN.
