When Hearts Embrace Hearts-5

Dampness for Earth, 

Love for Human!

A sparsely populated hamlet! There lives a writer in a tiny house atop a hillock. He stays there only during holidays. After spending a long vacation there, he is returning. A poor old lady known to the writer lives in a small hut down in the valley. When he went to her hut and bode her farewell, her face suddenly wilted. She told him, “Whenever I see the lighted lantern in the veranda of your house on the hillock, it gave me a feeling of assurance. I never felt lonely, with a light burning for me!”

His eyes welled up. Before bidding farewell and leaving, that noble man appointed a person to light a lantern in his house daily for that old woman.

Every person seeks such a light to avoid solitude. We wait for a person at every stage of our life. One who could surprise with love without any reason. One who could accept us as we are! There are some people like the confession box, who unconditionally forgives, knows everything and could say anything and everything to. Don’t need many of them. One such person is enough. Life won’t be dry and wry. Quran in ninety sixth verse of Chapter Maryam gives good news of such love for the noble persons.

Husband strayed into an illicit relationship. On deathbed after getting fatally injured in an accident, he revealed about that relationship to his beloved wife. “Won’t you forgive me?” He asked. She wept. Keeping her hand on his forehead, she said, “Whom can I forgive other than you?” That ever-burning light on the hillock is the heart of that innocent wife. Some wonderful souls are like, the kittens even if thrown and abandoned comes back and expresses love by rubbing its furry body looking for a cozy corner.

Affection is like an elixir for life. Shelter, clothes and food aren’t enough. Unconditional love is also required. If we don’t get good food, we will eat whatever comes our way. If pure love is denied, one will savour whatever love comes its way. Nobody should go through such a phase. That’s it. 

Rumi says: “Earth should be dampen, the sky bluish, the ocean calm, the wind soft, the flower fragrant and human being loved”

Love, keep loving, love till it prevails!
