This is just the experience I had with someone dear to me and who has departed from this materialistic world. and I summed up these candid, thought provoking moments in this short memoir.
When someone lives in our heart and is truly remembered, The person can come back to us in any form, be it in the invisible form or someone taking birth in your domain, with all its attributes substituted. Many stories have been told or are being heard in our childhood days, which has helped us to understand the existence of unknown spirits, good and bad at times. A shrill of shiver would run thru the spine as we go thru the story lines. Imaginative yet gripping with fear, one would tend to complete the stories with awe and amazement. But as we grow with life, the presence of good and bad spirits become part of every game we play thru.
Over a period of time, we tend to love persons we like and bridge gaps with love, compromises and faith. The social restrictions and obligations add value to our human side. When one thinks deeply and provokes its own self to understand the basics of life, one realizes that people we interact, are like pack of cards spread, and God, the player tries to create groups or sequences, for the successful completion of life. All that what we consider as our own domain is similar to the pack of cards shuffled and reshuffled all the time, as the game of life is realized through various stages of evolution. Life and death is the cyclic process nourished and nurtured by the invisible divine power. Existence of the individual, its rationale and prejudice ends with the arrival of the Death.
Death liberates soul from the bindings and bonding of the self. Death is liberation of the soul. One should be celebrating. but as one is deeply in love with the physical self of the person, mourning takes over.For the soul it may be fascinating or demurring to see itself liberating slowly from the clutches of its bonds (the people).
Intervention of the soul takes place when it seeks something or tries to accomplish some unfulfilled wishes, thru the thoughts or dreams observed by the people, who the soul is connected with. The messages get conveyed and are supposed to be accomplished, lest the soul does not rest in peace. But as we grow old and mature, this does not look like phantom stories, because our minds have matured to that degree of discrimination to see what is right or wrong?
When a dearly person departs, it leaves a message in a dream, to fulfil its wishes. One begins conversing with the dead person whose physical form with its physical charm is right in front of you. You converse, debate, and discuss your heartful talks, till you realize soul’s presence and you are left with candid, frightful fear and a thought provoking commitment which is made to the soul. A fulfilment of the dead man’s wish becomes a soul curry because believe it or not, one is bent towards completion of its wish. Once this is fulfilled, Soul shows up and sends yet another message of gratification or love thru its own media. Ghost story!! But we live with it and are fascinated by the end of the whole scene. This time only the difference is, These are known faces and souls with whom we have spent our lifetime together.
Saying says, if you love a person truly and remember thru your heart, it will come back to you, in any form, to bless and guide even at unlikely times. A whiff of warmth, an air of affection, an identity of physical body or someone’s catchy words entrust and entice you to feel the Soul’s presence. At times of celebration and remorse, the Soul is there to nurture you. It is a wonderful, capturing moment when one communicates and gets feedback from the departed soul. An adieu to the dead man’ soul, it is a different world, a real world which is true, yet looks false to our physical eyes. It is intriguing and thought provoking.
