Once a man was traveling, accidentally he entered paradise. In the Indian concept of paradise there are wish-fulling trees there Kalptarus. You just sit underneath them, desire anything and immediately it is fulfilled - there is no gap between the desire and it's fulfillment. There is no gap between a thought and a thing. You think and immediately it becomes thing; the thought materializes automatically.
The man was tired, so he fell asleep under a Kalptaru, a wish-fulling tree. When he woke-up he was feeling very hungry, so he simply said, "I'm feeling so hungry. wish I could get some food from somewhere." And immediately food appeared out of no where - just floating in the air, delicious food.
He was so hungry that he didn't pay attention to where it had come from - when you are hungry you are not philosophic. He immediately started eating, and the food was so delicious that he was caught up in the food. Once his hunger was gone. He looked around. Now that he was feeling very satisfied another thought arose in him. "If I could get some drink..." -- and there is still no prohibition in the paradise. Immediately precious wine appeared.
Drinking the wine relaxedly in the cool breeze of paradise under the shade of the tree, he started wondering, "What is the matter? What is happening? Have I fallen into a dream, or are some ghosts around and playing tricks with me?" And Lo - ghost appeared, ferocious ghosts, horrible, nauseating. Then he started trembling, and a thought arose in him: "Now I am sure to be killed. the people are going to kill me."
He was killed.
