Divine letters

[Guest guest]

An elderly woman grieving her husband's passing, received a surprise

letter of comfort from Bhagavan, expressing:

 

Wedding binds two persons together as husband and wife. What were

they to each other minutes before? The one would not have worried

for the other if the wedding had not happened!

 

Where were the son, and the brother before they were conceived and

born? Life is an interlude between what was and what will be. This

interlude should be used not to lament over what cannot be helped or

set right, but to seek God, see Him and take refuge in Him. Your

husband lived such a life in the light of Truth he had glimpsed. He

did no wrong to anyone; he loved and served the suffering and the

illiterate. He salvaged many families from penury and infamy. He

helped many young people to go through college. Many sick persons

were saved by his timely donations. He was ever cheerful and spread

cheer wherever he went. And, at last, God willed that he cast away

the body that limited him. Of what profit is it now to calculate

what might have happened, had he not gone to Madras that day?

 

Your duty from now on is to sustain the fame he earned, to follow

the ideals he had placed before himself. Your husband is here, in MY

presence now, and he will be there forever as he had wished to be

when alive. Swami will not allow him to be separated from the

Presence. He is now free from bonds and boundaries.

 

You are indeed fortunate that destiny drew you to him and gave you

so many years of loving companionship with such a fine person. His

thoughts were pure; there was no blemish of envy, hatred, or greed

in him. So his place is with Me, forever. I am writing this letter

to you in order to shower on you the cool rain of love. That rain

will scotch the flames of grief that are now raging in you. Your

husband is at Prasanthi Nilayam, in the presence of Sairam, having

attained that climax by his spiritual attainments.
