A Unique Example of a Divine Human Relationship!
Last Tuesday at the punya bhoomi of Kedarnath one heart breaking incident happened which has disturbed not only me but the whole country. After Darshan by devotees and on return by chopper which met with an accident, my very close to the heart guide/soul sister Kala Ramesh jee has merged with Lord Mahadev. It is pertinent to mention here that on the same day, a few hours prior to this accident, she had video called me from there and she was beaming with happiness for she had happily reached Kedarnath. In that journey all passengers including pilot met with untimely death. This was not only my personal loss but I’d say that the world has lost a pure hearted soul like Kala Ramesh. I can assure that with God’s blessings she was an exceptional personality with a powerful and attractive aura. My friendship with her was just 7 years old and in those 7 years it turned out to be an example of divine human relationship. By the grace of God, we together worked for many good causes that it is hard to believe that she’s no more. Today many people from my contacts are grieving even though they have not met her and know just thru me. That’s why it is said that it does not matter if life is not long, but it should be lived big. After her heavenly departure many heartfelt messages received from my friends and family made me realize that anyone who had met her could feel her wonderful aura and friendly nature.
There were such qualities in this virtuous soul that meeting her had a unique impact on others. In fact, while in her company, I observed that she was one of the rare principle-loving virtuous souls who are determined to remain almost unaffected by age, circumstances of life or changing environment in the sane form God has created us all. The interesting thing is that such simple ordinary people never germinate the seeds of such an idea that this way of living life is the greatest austerity, taking them to the peak of importance. They do not carry toxic elements within like falsehood and even while living a worldly life, their soul is radiant, heart is pure and mind is calm. They are found mainly exhaling and inhaling only love in their breath. She could be seen directly imbibing another most esoteric philosophy of life, which is also the proof of her true spiritual, that when she met others, it is like water mixed with water and when separated, it is like a piece of stone. Which after separating from the water, gets dried for some time and then dried. Little did she realize that she possessed qualities to be called extraordinary in the world, it was my good fortune that I was able to recognize her virtues. It is obvious that this type of aura is the result of determined and difficult sadhana, like nature and plants, such personalities easily commit themselves to give their best, remain dutiful and do not deviate from the path of dharma. While expressing my sympathies to the families of all the devotees who died in the above incident, I express my heartfelt gratitude to my guide and intimate friend (Badi Didi), whose goodness people could experience without even telling them. And that is why by her great deeds, she will live in the world posthumously for many years.
नैनं छिन्दन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावकः।
न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुतः ॥
ॐ शांति।
