I am looking around and I cannot ignore the pain. I see so many deaths, then people crying after that. Some are just expressing but some are genuinely missing the gone one. Someone is feeling, my entire world has come to an end, still everyone will have no choice but to rise like a phoenix. I was feeling the pain and feeling sad and then I felt God was saying, Death is the end of sufferings too.
People who are left behind, are in pain but the ones who are gone , for them all the sufferings have ended. From Mahabharata era we have a story. King Shantanu wanted to marry Ganga but she had one condition. That he would not question her actions. She drowned their seven sons and finally the king stopped her. She told him that they all were cursed by Brahma and she was salvaging them. Saying this, she gave the eighth son, to the king who was later called as Bhishma and left.
So the one who is dying, are they suffering, or we are suffering because our loved ones have left. The souls who have left are at peace. For them, all of their suffering have ended. We have pain of losing our loved ones. Pain is inevitable but suffering is our choice. This I felt many many years ago.
I can feel everyone’s pain. I feel like crying, I feel sad. But I want to everyone to know that the loved ones are safe and they have found place with God. They are with light and their sufferings have ended. We need to hold ourselves together and pray for their peace.
May God give strength to everyone who has lost a loved one. May God fills up everyone’s heart with his love.
