I was reading on some topics that related to near death experiences.I have my own view with regard to such experiences.Some have said that the experience of going through a tunnel towards light which most have experienced is the memory of birth trauma,experienced by us we as we come to earth through the mother's womb.The light at the tunnel being our connection to the world,that is mostly the well lit hospital room.
So what is my idea about birth and death?How do I relate to death?I have no confusion about birth as birth is an aftermath of conjugal bliss,to put it decently in words.A birth becomes anguish as in the recently published news item in a local daily(SOM),when the father suicided as his daughter born has been a baby with disability.The father was destitute and possibly his worries as to the life long sustenance of the baby girl and future woman ,was beyond his means.I understand this death.The father did not think that consolation will come through God,through society and through one's own self will.
This brings me to the matter of death.When I can understand this death why is it that I am unable to understand certain types of death.The youth at the prime of his life on the road.In all cases of road accidents it has been said that both are responsible somehow.This again through another news item that came in the paper refutes.Here three teachers one of them retired and who had possibly come to see one of his friends were ground to death by a car driver recklessly as he shot over the road divider.The teachers ,all the three were just standing on the opposite side waiting for their bus.This car was on the opposite side of the road and it overshot the divider and ran them over.I think here only destiny can be the word in describing the three teacher's death.So also in the other case of the youth not at fault can be also of destiny.But this destiny is unacceptable because the teachers have lived for some time,past their fifties.
At this point I am unable to answer some questions.I am aware why,but unable to accept. It is just like knowing that some one who is related to you is not that merciful but one is unable to comment.One only knows.Why am I like this?I always come to this point and stops.For me also life has become tedious and I pray for mercy from God.
The answer is that one has just to be and some where one will get an answer.Also one might even come to a stage where answers do not matter. Am I at that stage?
Jayamala.
