I had much to do before boarding into the train and when reached I was literally exerting. Shopping, a visit to the ancestral house and evening visit to the family temple- when I completed my routine, there were still about twenty minutes for the train to arrive and looking at a bench under an Almond tree in the platform I headed towards the seat. It was early hours of the night and a cool breeze touched the sweat upon my cheeks- divinity caressing my soul! Silence- there was a sudden silence, emptiness too and it was terrible. The vehicle that used to carry me everywhere is no more with me; there are no relatives, not even one who would recognize me there. My princess, a shadow, who used to follow me must be still weeping sitting at a room full of the breath of her father. I felt my throat aching, tears filling on my eyes. Through the blurred vision I found red light on the signal- my train is about to come and stop here and I must get into it for a long journey. While sitting at the compartment I found the scenes disappearing behind. I was not thinking about a brief journey where I would miss my home for couple of week, but of a journey back leaving behind everyone, everything that I had. I do not own this body that is given by two individuals, I do not own this wealth that was given by some people; I do not own this flesh that is the mercy of the living being around me and I do not own this life within me given by the Lord. What I have is just ‘I’ that would retain back at the very moment I surrender this life to Him the same I have already done! But, being a human by birth I suffer the symptoms of detachment! My Lord, the healer of all sufferings, accept this pain too for you are the solace for everything! ॐ नमः शिवाय I
