My friend had not been well for many days and was growing weaker.No apparent illness just not enough strength to be up and about.
'The doctor says drink more water'
NO, maybe its someone's evil eye, recite holy verses and drink that water'
You are so careless about your eating habits'
well what can I say'
Get a glucose saline drip and you will have the energy in no time'
OK OK. I will......and then the thoughts started a turmoil in the mind.Questions fears and alarms were raised.
Will I ever be well.?
Am I going to die?
With these thoughts my friend quietly lay on the bed, thinking and asking the Almighty.
Is my time to go, near?
The purity in our hearts and soul, the good intentions, the good helping deeds, have I been able to do good to anyone? She tried to think.Even thinking was tiring.
'And then'...yes? what then? please continue.I am listening.
The slight trembling, the sudden silence, the loud sigh
the strange look in the eyes, looking at something .....
What is it? I cannot see anyone.
"yes?
"And then I became conscious of this extremely strong bright light close to the ceiling.I tried to raise my eyes, but the light was so powerful I could not , I gathered all the strength that I could and managed to cast a flickering glance,and there was............I know it was.................................I was blinded for seconds but ....................
but...but.....I got my answers.The vision, the message, the presence, it was all from .....from.......I could not look up......the light was so magnetic and then I felt a comforting hand on my right side,
the doctor had said that the liver function was sluggish...I needed more water.Then I lost consciouness.I drifted into the world of oblivion,for many hours.When I finally woke up I felt as if I was never ill.
I understood. I felt. I still wonder, but I believe that That day I was blessed'.
My friend stopped. 'You see our prayers are answered even if we do not deserve the good'
I am not sure, I know I must have made many mistakes.
But I have faith in the great power
God is Most Gracious Most Merciful.
Human beings need to be tolerant and peaceful and accept the shortcomings of others.
We think we are doing good but are we really putting things right?
