A LETTER TO MY COUNTRY KENYA: #WE ARE ONE/ FINDING SPIRIT

#WE ARE ONE/ FINDING SPIRIT


Stephen and Anita had a daughter named Rachael. Rachael was brutally murdered and her body left and they wrote to Ramdas, who was their teacher and mentor. They said, HOW CAN WE, AFTER LOSING OUR DAUGHTER, FIND SPIRIT, BE INSPIRED AND HOW CAN WE FIND GOD IN EVENTS SUCH AS THIS?
And this is what Ramdas wrote to Stephen and Anita. One of the most beautiful letters I have ever read. This is what he said,
Dear Stephen and Anita,
Rachael finished her work on earth and left the stage in a manner that leaves those of us behind with a cry of agony in our hearts, as the fragile threat of our fate is dealt with so violently. Is anyone so strong to stay conscious in such teachings as you are receiving? Probably, very few! And even they would only have a whisper of equal enmity and peace amidst screaming trumpets of their rage, grief, horror and desolation.
I cannot assuade your pain with any words, nor should I. For your pain is Rachael’s legacy to you. Not that she or I would inflict such pain by choice, but there it is and it must burn its purifying way to completion. For something in you dies when you bear the unbearable, and it is only in that night of sour that you are prepared to love as God loves. Now is the time to let your grief find expression, no false strength. Now is the time to sit quietly and speak to Rachael and thank her for being with you all this few years and encourage her to move on with whatever her work is, knowing that you`ll grow in compassion and wisdom from this experience.
In my heart I know that you and she will meet again and again, and recognize the many ways in which you`ve known each other and when you meet, you’ll know in a flash what now is not given for you to know, why this had to be the way it was.
Our rational minds can never understand what has happened, but our hearts, if we keep them open to God, will find their own intuitive way.Racheal came through you to do her work on earth which includes her manner of death. Now, her soul is free and the love that you shared with her is invulnerable to the winds of changing time and space.
In that deep love, include me.
