~ Bonds of Souls...~

I have been severely intrigued by the zeal of living by people around me in spite of the desperate life situations they are going through. The daily living comes up with a new challenge and they are adamant to call it quits! ...What makes them go with the time and looking forward towards life...

Today, I write about a lady who comes with her son who is not a normal child, I assume that is the best time of the day for her son as I see him elated and smiling when he sees his surroundings full of noise and activity going on in the park. Some kids are jogging, others are just idling around whilst many are playing soccer with loud shouts!

What must her mother be feeling when she see’s ‘Normal’ children playing around in the park and her son being wheelchaired by her and what about the hardcore feelings and wanting of her son, for he at an almost adolescent age cannot stand and join those footballers who are enjoying their time.

God must have given her great courage and sensibility to cater to such a soul born as her son. She has truly taken over the control of his life and has dedicated her being to the wellness of her paralytic son.

Just the other day, she was making her son roam round the aisle of our park when a group of some old woman happened to be communicating with her – may be out of curiosity, they asked her about her son’s condition – He is suffering from a condition called “Muscle Dystrophy” since birth , fully knowing that the condition is progressive with time and patients with such conditions are generally not able to live a normal life and also succumb to worsening conditions with time, the mother was bold enough to encounter those incisive questions and further stated “ He is on treatment and soon will stand on his own feet and play football as other kids!”

Now for me, that is just phenomenal faith the iron lady has on the grand design. As she moved forward with her wheelchair bound son, she was in thorough process of talking to her and as I could see, she was getting answers in the affirmative – What a bond both the souls had – a truly remarkable existence!

For them, world was just two of them and they were born for each other , such was the love of a mother towards her son – she took on herself the best ‘Gift’ and ‘Responsibility’ God has given on her as a test of time and also to improve upon her Karma cycle – to the spiritualists, you can call it ’Prarabdha karma’, that she needs to execute in her lifetime.

The best part being that she has taken up the situation in her stride and have accepted her tryst with destiny with open arms and a genuine smile – how many of us have got the grit to follow on her footsteps and behave and dedicate ourselves to such a lifelong cause. Her humility and gratitude towards life’s vignettes remains steadfast , the calmness and the everlasting smile on her face tells me about how much she loves her son.
