On the All Souls Day everyone remembers the death of the dear ones;
So, I write this special mourning message to my dear ones today
On the death of the dear one, especially the last one forever so soon!
The death of a dear one indeed deeply wounds the heart sometimes!
But what to do, it is not in our hands to know before the death of anyone!
The date of birth we know but not the date of death before,
Because birth is in our hands but death is in His hands!
What to do, we think one thing but some other thing happens sometimes!
Unexpected things happen which we have to bear, agree or not;
That is the thing we can do; otherwise there is no other go!
So we have to be consoled with whom we have to compensate for the loss;
That is how human life has to be lived in the world as long as we live!
It’s impossible to know the cause though there is no chance for death!
It’s irony death comes sooner for some unexpected and later for some expected!
Sooner or later, death is sure though sooner the better for some and late for some!
So everyone is born for a cause and lives till one fulfils the mission of life!
For, we are judged not by the time but only by the deed of our life here!
Soon after India’s Independence, Gandhi was assassinated as he was destined!
All Powerful Jesus died of crucifixion as his mission of life was over!
So when the time of birth comes not even a single second the child remains in the womb;
So also when the time of death comes nobody can live even a single second longer!
The death knell of one is the birth bell of another as men are decreed so by God!
So what is the use of crying over the spoilt milk rather than cleaning for a new start?
Attachment makes one feel deeper than the limit which is not a wise man’s act!
In the world if one door closes another door opens for the faithful in God!
The demise of the dear one, though difficult, dissolves as days pass on;
But the demise of the loved ones, one after the other, is a difficult to digest!
The memory of the loved ones lingers on needing long diversions to erase it!
So the diversion will be only in Art or Nature to forget oneself in its beauty;
That gives new life in the exploration of bliss ever lasting and enduring here
Leading intellectually to know reality and realise spiritually the Ultimate Reality!
Such diversion from the loved ones leads to eternal bliss bright and beautiful
Making nil the birth or death of body before the absolute bliss of the eternal spirit,
In which only love rather than perishing things can be perfect and permanent!
