Yesterday as we were going to sleep, I started thinking about my wife’s maternal grandmother. She was an amazing woman. Amazing in the sense, she went through a lot of adversities in her life. The details of that maybe for another time. But for whatever brief time I’ve had to interact with her, I never found her disturbed or frustrated with life.
She was always this calm, contented personality throughout her life. I’m sure the reason behind that must’ve been her devotion to spirituality. She was an avowed practitioner of spirituality. I believe it helped her face the difficulties of life with composure and assurance.
So, I was thinking about her life and no doubt getting inspired by the way she lived it. My toddler son was lying beside me, wife was on the other side of him. As I just finished thinking about her, my son immediately asked my wife, “Aai(Mom), when will Amama(great-grandmother) come back down from the stars?” To that, my wife answered, ” Now, she’ll never come back but I’ll tell her or you tell her to bless you.”
Hearing that question, I was stunned. Was that telepathy between me and my son? I don’t know. But then it has to be that or some other form of connection. I mean how can a thought which was there in my mind, inspiring me suddenly occur in my son’s mind the very next moment?
Some people will call it coincidence. But what exactly is coincidence? Two similar things happening randomly and supposedly have no connection between each other.
But can we really be certain that it was a coincidence? And more than that, does the law of universe allow things to happen randomly? I don’t think so. Nothing happens out of the blue. It is our ignorance which says it does.
As for taking this strange but beautiful incident, a wonderful experience into consideration, I’ve heard children being called Indigo Children. Children have this natural tendency to remain open minded, curious at all times. So it is natural for them to attract these metaphysical occurences. They might not be fully equipped to express it but that doesn’t mean that they don’t experience it.
This is the reason why children or a new life of any lifeform is so precious in itself.
P.S. — When my wife told this story to her mother, she revealed that she’s been dreaming about her mother since the past 5 days. So the connection continues……..
Om Shanti…..?
