Struggling Father desirous to see his Son - 36
My Dearest Beta Shanu,
Another virtual conversation between a middle aged father and his 1417 days old son separated and trying and praying to get united in an amicable and unified environment filled with truth, love and peace. In my conversations there may be statements son, which may not be applicable or will depend upon the narrator’s art and skill to make them positive and interesting to you, if at all my letters are respected and narrated. But there may be some lessons and vibrations which may enrich the state of cur rent being. It is also a mechanism where a father and a friend is speaking about thoughts to a son and friend, to underline the virtues and beliefs which are important and driving forces towards betterment and divineness. They may not be applicable to a child now as I have mentioned but one day definitely will provide a resource repository of the experiences and its true tales, to instill purity and values of childhood.
How are you? Looks strange son but not knowing where you are exactly and how you are doing is what prompts this statement from me, especially when I’m not allowed to meet you and even if I try, the forced repulsion will affect you as it will affect me and your grandparents. Thus sometimes we kill our own wishes and try to live the life which God wants us to live praying and hoping that one day justice will be done by him and truth, love and humanity will prevail.
Do you know beta, world will rise and sleep today but this day is a very sacred day for me as I got married on this very day. Most people enter married as a matter of course or as a ritual and a bond, as that is what is expected of them. I also was one of ‘the’ people. However the success or otherwise of the marriage always hinge on the manner in which the relationship between the two individuals, who have now become life partners and the respective families is handled. Marriage could be a spiritual experience but again it depends on cultivating the right attitude. From the spiritual point of view, married life will be a success only and I mean only if it is thoroughly determined by the vision of Truth. It cannot offer much if it is inspired by the considerations which usually prevail in business partnership. I have always tried marriage to be undertaken as spiritual enterprise which is intended to discover what life can be at its best. Unfortunately there is a condition in the spiritual adventure, that it can’t be limited to a convenient calculation concerning the nature and amount of individual gain. When the individual gain comes into picture than marriage can also be regarded as the intensification of most human problems, especially for the people following on the path of selflessness and love. You are very young and are in the infancy of the innocence but these words from me may help you in future to have a better experience of the life which God has provided you, when I say better given your powerful mind and creative powers you will not be constrained in the inward fear of thinking to reactions by your own partner in future but will utilize it for the positive evolution of the nature and thus the being.
As for now your image is a field of awareness for me that conceives, constructs, governs my mind and soul and my communications to you. Till this awareness is alive in me it will permeate every fiber of creation which I’m destined and scripted in time and space for me by invisible vibration which is the sole governing energy and creator, sustainer and destroyer. Hope these lessons from the true experiences may help you in formulation of a improvising of beings and your inner self in future.
Continuing on our storytelling journey, here is today’s stooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Beta today’s story is taken from the famous folk tales of fables. This is story of a Lion, Monkey and Camel. Enjoy!
“
It was the birthday of the lion, the king of the forest. All the animals of the forest such as the elephant, the tiger, the bear, the zebra, the crocodile, the monkey, the camel and every little animal was there. They took their places around the lion who was seated majestically on a rock.
The tiger stood up besides the king and clearing his throat spoke aloud, “ My dear friends, today is the birthday of our beloved king. So let us all first stand up and sing to him.” The whole gathering stood up and began to sing, the “Happy Birthday” song. The crows cawed, the owls hooted, the donkeys brayed, the mice squeaked, the frogs croaked, the tigers roared and the snakes hissed, all in perfect chorus. Then the tiger roared aloud, ”Now all the animals will do something to make the king happy.”
The first to come was the big fat bear. He danced around so funnily that the lion and all the animals started laughing. They all liked it very much.
Next, it was the turn of the monkey. He performed many tricks and did them very well. He did somersaults, he walked on his hands and swung around on the trees. He did so many funny tricks that all the animals burst out in the peals of laughter.
The camel did not like it. He was filled with jealousy. “I can do better than that,” he said. It was his turn next.
The camel came forward and started dancing. But he was very clumsy and kept stumbling. The lion and all other animals were not very happy to see him acting so silly.
But the vain and foolish camel did not notice that the lion was angry with him. He tried to stand on his hind legs. But he lost his balance and fell on the lion. The lion and the other animals were very angry with camel and they beat him up. Camel learnt his lesson and ran away.
HA! HA! HA!
“
Love is a binding force between us, beta!. The bond is getting stronger with forced separation as mere vision of you prompts me to author the letters, perform meditation, start an end my days as we used to do before with a tilak on your forehead (now virtually) with morning puja and evening puja. There is not a moment when I don’t feel your proximity. True to you, sometimes I feel weak but then your words and your smile and your finger touching mine and your voice, your small feet … show me the path of truth and simplicity. I’m working on my next book for you, but its getting delayed as I’m still not well and slowly getting better. I’m more eager to see how the next book shapes up. My next few paintings will also be hopefully be finished before your birthday. God willing may be if we are destined to meet again we will certainly meet, I will live for that day, I will pray and my hope and love will provide necessary oxygen to heart and brain. Will Gods grace my son the most beautiful soul and creation of nature, continue and show the path of creativity and truth, and may innovators and incubators follow you and your creative self.
Om!
Your Father
