Never Born, Never Died, Just Visited This Planet. – Osho.

Urmeela
“All she must contribute is her existence. She needs achieve nothing, for she is the reward of achievement” – Germaine Greer.
“She embodies mystery through her fruitfulness. She is associated with Nature and with the Earth.”
In many philosophical systems, she is the Mother Nature too.
She was fruitful. She gave me our son Ranjan.
On three separate occasions, when we were privileged to live in homes with gardens, she created and maintained beautiful gardens, before we moved into our own home with a small garden. What she planted and so lovingly tended to, now stands testimony to her representing Nature and Earth.
I wish that I could reproduce here all the stories about her gentleness, hospitality and maternity, that we have received from so many people from all over the world. Suffice it to say, that many of them totally surprised us. She never talked about them to us.
Her body has left us. She will never leave us.
She would not like me to mope. I do not intend to.
I am not responding individually to all the messages that my blog friends have left here on my previous post. Please accept this post as my gratitude to all of you as well as a tribute to a remarkable person who gave me so much.

Ramana, No response required, I deliberately did not send e-mails of my relationship with my sister-in-law, but suffice it to say that she has left a large impression upon me, and the only time when I lost my temper with our mother was when Amma bad mouthed Urmeela and I let her know in no uncertain terms as to what a lovely talented lady she had as a daughter-in-law.
I constantly badgered her to do a painting for me, but she always laughed in that gentle manner and promised at some tiome, when she felt like it, that she would. I hope she now has the time to do one for me!!!!

She is beautiful! What a blessing to have such people in our lives.

People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive….
May God give you the strength to re-examine and re-purpose your life now….

Iam sorry Uncle about your irreparable loss. May God give you peace within. You are a wonderful person and I wish you lots of strength and good remembrances of your best partner in life.

We are in this life for such a short time and Urmeela has certainly used her time well. May that bring comfort and strength to you Ramana and to your son Ranjan.

Ramana, all of us share this part of the dance for a short time. What you shared with Urmeela can never be lost. Even in your sadness you have shared with us and we will treasure that. Thank you.

Dear Ramana,
I was so sorry to hear from Padmini about Urmeela and I am glad that I was able to speak to you from Mumbai.I would have loved to visit you but due to prior commtments in Chennai I had to get back.Both in Delhi when we met and later though for a short time, I had a great time with you and Urmeela when Ambi and I visited you in Poona. She was a loving , caring person. She is here with us and always will be. May her soul rest in peace.My heartfelt condolences to you and Ranjan.

Dear Ramanna,
It took me a lot of courage and three days to talk to you after Urmeela bhabhi left for the heavenly abode.
You homage on the blog is very touching and communicates the bond you two had.

Thank you for sharing such a lovely photo of Urmeela. I wish I had known her.

What a fine tribute to a person who earned these words, Ramana. It does not surprise me that your wife’s life, like yours, continues to draw people together in consuming flames of growth from precious experiences and talents. Her eternal oil will burn in many lives forever- just as she lit care and wonder here on earth! May you continue to feel the warmth of that care and ours.

I am very sorry that she is no longer with us and I’m sorry that I’m finding out so late. All lives are special and your wife’s was no exception. I’m glad you can appreciate the beauty she created while she was here and the beautiful legacy she has left. I keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers that you continue to give each other strength and comfort as Urmeela would want you to. Thank you, too, for being such a kind and generous husband to her. I’m comforted knowing that she had you.

Wow, Vaishali, nice of you to visit and comment. Thank you for the very nice words.

What a beautiful smile and lovely comments.
I would like to add one if I may… something that has helped me:-
Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the ghost of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolute unbroken continuity
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner
All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!
