CREMATION 30-11-22 ALAS IT IS THE MOST DIFFICULT AND PATHETIC MOMENT ALL THE NEAREST ONES WEAP BITTERLY, CALL RELATIONS AND FRIENDS TO ASSEMBLE AND ASSIST IN THE CREMATION CEREMONY -ASTONISHING IT IS, THAT IN FEW MINUTES, THE ONE WHO WAS LOVED THE MOST, BECOMES A STRANGER WITHIN FEW MINUTES AND THE ENTIRE FAMILY WANTS TO BE AWAY FROM HIM/HER LEST GHOSTS, DISEASE GERMS ETC. NOT CATCH THE REST OF THE MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY OR ANYONE ELSE, AND AS SUCH HURRY UP TO PUT TO FLAMES OR TO BURY AND LEAVE SOME MARK BEHIND LIKE CROSS, NAME PLATE ETC. ETC. -QUESTION ARISES WHETHER IT IS THE FEAR OF GHOSTS OR CATCHING UP SOME DISEASES, OR IS THERE SOME OTHER REASON: -I THINK WHAT IS NOT SAID AND/OR EXPLAINED, PERHAPS FOR REASON, BETTER TO MANGE TO FORGET THIS HAPPENING AND ASSOCIATION, AS OTHERWISE IT WILL CONTINUE HAUNTING THE FAMILY ALL THE TIME AND COULD RESULT IN HALTING OR RETARDING THE USUAL LIFE AND/OR TO FRUSTRATE AND/OR DEMOTIVATE LIFE FOR THE FUTURE. TO ME IT SEEMS TO BE THE FACT AS WELL AS I SEE AFTER UNDERGOING ONE OR TWO RITUALS OF GATHERING AND/OR IMMERSING ASHES IN GANGES ETC. , THE LEFE GETS TO NORMAL, PERHAPS PRECIOUSLY AND CAREFULY KEEPING/HANGING PHOTO OF THE DEPARTED SOUL, WHICH ALSO AS THE YEARS PASS ON, IS FORGOTTEN, LEFT WHERE IT WAS KEPT AND AFTER PASSAGE OF MORE AND MORE TIME, PERHAPS THROWN AWAY. ALAS AND IT IS A FACT, THAT JOURNEY, TURMOIL, STRUGGLES OF THIS BELOVED ONE PERHAPS REMAIN A RECALL IN TIMES OF DIFFICULTIES AND THAT TOO VANAISHES AWAY, IN ROUTINE AND JOYS OF ONE’S OWN LIFE. WONDER I VERY MUCH WHEN IT IS SAID THAT ONE WHO DIES GETS INTO BIRTH, REBIRTHS AS PER ONE’S ACTIONS. HOW FAR IT IS TRUE IT IS DIFFICULT TO SAY AS ONCE GONE, WHO KNOWS WHERE WE ARE GONE, HOW THOSE WHO IMAGINE AND BELIEVE HOW THEY COULD SEE ALSO. PERHAPS IT IS A MYTH, IMAGINATION JUST TO KEEP HUMANBEINGS FEARFUL AND GET INCLINED TO DO GOOD ALL THE TIME,SO AS TO BE BEST REWARDED WHEN THEY DIE. Conclusion: happening of death is very shocking and pathetic but it is a natural fact, what is born, has to die one day or the other, new born ones come in and this cycle of life goes on. One needs to accept this as a fact and manage to live life as best as one can, in best relationships as one can, and be kind and generous as best as one can. THIS IS THE REAL LIFE AND CHARM ATTACHED TO IT, REST IS NOTHING, JUST A JOURNEY AND STORY PERHAPS Vasdevloond 9811943867 vasdevloond@gmail.com
