Today as I accessed my mailbox, mail from respected Venu amongst others caught my attention. The initial preview of the mail read, one of us has moved on …. my casual subconscious thought was, one of the Amarantosian had scaled a new peak and done something new. But, soon enough I realised, I was wrong & completely off the track.
Saddened to hear about Seema’s loss. My prayers are with the family.
NO OFFENCE INTENDED BUT SOCIAL POLITENESS APART;
I also wanted to gently ask about the phrase “darkest hour.” in Venu’s mail. Given that Atlantis, rather all batches at Amarantos are (in a way) trained to analyze multiple lifetimes and therefore encounter death regularly, could you help me understand the intent behind that phrase/wording?
My own view (even though appearing to be rude) is, if death is the ultimate reality then in that sense “death is/was born and death has died” …. Thus, there might also be room to rejoice in that truth, even while honoring the pain of loss.
I’m asking so that I can respond in a way that truly respects both the grief and this broader perspective.
As I write this post, some lines come to mind
Kyon sanwaree hai yeh
Chandan kee chita mere liye
Main koyee jism nahee hu
Ke jalaaoge mujhe
Raakh ke saath bikhar
jaaunga main duneeya mein
Tum jahan khaaoge thokar
Wahee paaoge mujhe
These lines are from the song ‘Meri awaaz suno’; almost in consonance with BG Chp 2, V 2.17 to 2.25
In Sikhism, we say “poora ho gaya” /पूरा हो गया,
than simply saying someone “died”—as though the journey has reached completion, rather than life simply coming to an end.
There is also the understanding of Hukam/हुक्म (way of life)- that birth and death are part of the larger Divine Order. The physical form comes and goes, but the soul is not seen as ending with the body.
So perhaps there is room for a quiet kind of rejoicing in that truth—not rejoicing in the loss or denying the pain, but recognising that something has been completed and returned to the Divine. At the same time, I would never want this perspective to diminish the very real pain of losing someone. Grief is love experiencing absence, and it deserves to be honoured. Perhaps both truths can exist together: the heart can mourn deeply, while something within us can still bow to Hukam and trust the larger mystery of existence.
So in my humble opinion- both can coexist: the heart can grieve the absence, while the soul can find peace in the thought that the journey has become poora/completed!
you know everything my beloved Atul and ask to test me 
like our samsara, the greatest of the reality (Bhraman) and the greatest illusion (Maya) are juxtaposed so is knowledge and pain in this earth plane.
no matter how much we know about death being only a transformation, the pain of losing a loved one is real… at least that is what this one shrouded in ignorance feels 
amazing @hc2101 there is so much I learn about this astounding way of life set by Sri Guru Nanakji… thank you for sharing these nuggets with us.
My pleasure 
I’m glad I could contribute in any small way
Everything That Has a Beginning Has An End. Which leads to Every new another Beginning.
Famous quotes from Matrix Revolution
- Everything that has a beginning has an end. I see the end coming. I see the darkness spreading. I see death…and you are all that stands in his way.
- One way or another, Neo, The war is going to end. Tonight, the future of both worlds will be in your hands… or in his.
[In the Oracle’s kitchen] Conversation between Oracle and Neo (The One)
Oracle: So, do you recognize me?
Neo: A part of you.
Oracle: Yeah, that’s how it works. Some bits you lose, some bits you keep. I don’t yet recognize my face in the mirror, but… I still love candy. [Offers Neo a piece of red candy]
We have to remember one thing, its not our body in the soul or energy level. It’s the energy which took form of a soul for a purpose had chosen this body.
Before the dawn of this chosen body, we have taken many bodies.
its only with this human body we are here to recognize and realize the divine oneness with the divine consciousness. No other form can understand or merely understand this consciousness.
