…….Monkey’s Paw Revisited……

My Dear Reha,

While on ‘Relationships’, a good friend of mine wrote to me, years ago, ‘At the end of the day, you have to carry your own cross. ‘

I don’t remember the context but it was an agonising statement. Miserably intense and unfortunately true. Truth is not only bitter but painful too, I realised much later in my life. Only YOU feel YOUR pain. You are alone in this world………after a certain point….!

Think of a situation, not an imaginary situation. It could be real too.

God, in all His Enormity and Universality, the ends of Whom you cannot visualise, is standing in front of you…Radiating……you are just a speck, a dot before Him…..almost non existent…God Who is Omnipresent, Omniscient, All Powerful, All Giver, Unborn, Undead, Undefined wants to give you back your Meethi Ma once again….only and only if YOU make a request to Him. He is ready to throw all the Cosmic Laws to the wind. He is ready to grant you this boon, only if YOU say so…..

‘Come. on, He tells you, ‘Make. a request and next moment your Meethi Ma will be back into your life……no strings attached, no hidden agenda…..just normal life…..’

You have read Monkey’s Paw as a story…..and now it is happening to you in real life…..you wish and your wish will be granted…..

Will you or will you not ? You love Her….you love Her not…..you love Her…..you love Her not….

Are you confused….? No, there is no confusion. You love Her, no doubt….But…….

Yes, there is a big BUT……

I think now we want Him to keep Your Meethi Ma Happy and In Peace. ……wherever She is. You want Him to let Her shower Her blessings on us…….from wherever She is……..

Love

Dad
