The Fear in Their Eyes

Old ones fear death, I know it well,
But seeing that fear—oh, it's a hell.
Two-thirds of life, I've left behind,
The last phase whispers, cruel yet kind.

This body frail, this soul confined,
One day, I'll leave this shell behind.
But before I go, my heart does ache,
For those whose hands once held my fate.

I see my parent, lone and still,
They lost their love—now time’s cruel will.
They wait, they know, the end is near,
Yet silent bear the weight of fear.

A child I am, yet helpless too,
To see them fade, what can I do?
We dread the day, we beg for more,
But Nature knocks on every door.

Those who come must one day part,
A truth that shatters every heart.
Yet, if souls could choose to stay,
I’d wish them near, just one more day.

Kaash amar ho jaate vo,
Aatma ban saath nibhate vo.
But such is life, and such is fate,
Only God remains—forever great.

Reading beyond what’s visible

We feel like we are growing, sensing people, their actions, and reactions, but it’s not as simple as it seems. Even when we are close to God, almost able to see Him around us all the time, we can still misunderstand what others truly are. We may observe their actions, but we can’t always see through them. It’s only when His love intervenes, revealing what we need to see, that we realize the lesson we’re meant to learn at that moment.

Why didn’t we see the truth sooner? Because if we had, we’d have been too guarded, not truly ready for the lessons life wanted to teach us. "Nothing in life is permanent except Him."

We often don’t accept people who aren’t like us. Just as water mixes with water and oil with oil, we feel comfortable with what’s similar. Water and oil are never meant to mix. We may grow close to someone, but a small mismatch will prevent full harmony. The lesson here is, we can be near God, but we cannot yet be one with Him, because we are still imperfect. We have our impurities. When we struggle to accept people who aren’t entirely true to us, how can we expect to be one with God unless we are fully aligned with Him?

If we surrender to God, He shows us how to become like Him. He takes care of every step we take, guiding us in every moment. Life is like a wheel: after each period of disappointment, there will be a time of joy, where we reflect on what we’ve learned and move forward. With every bad phase, the lessons become shorter, and eventually, there will be no more bad phases. We will have learned everything we need to, and we’ll be ready to unite with God. This is the state of ultimate bliss, where we are immersed in tears of love and divine peace. I hope we all experience this in this lifetime.

Forgive those who hurt you, for they came into your life to teach you something essential for your spiritual growth. Wishing maturity, sensibility, and peace to all.
