Even if you are an atheist, there are times, when you experience things, that draw you into believing that there is something which is planned for you, by someone who controls everything. Here's a true incident that would probably leave you speechless.
Ira's grandfather was a well known Buddhist monk in the Southern US. After his demise, many monks arrived at her house, to pay their final respect. As per the rituals, every unmarried male had to become a monk for a week. One fine day, Ira with her uncle and her cousins, sat beside a monk. The monk started talking about his experiences of life. The monk initially began with telling them about his birth and the place. He also informed them about the birthmarks that he had.
Well, the monk then proceeded to tell everyone about their secrets. Like he told them about how once his uncle got his car ditched and had to get a scolding from his wife. This to everyone's surprise, was something that no one knew. Nobody except his uncle knew about the secret. It was the first time that they were meeting the monk and he guessed all of their birthdates.
Everyone was shocked and scared to since the monk knew everything about their hidden secrets.
