Talking about experiments, Sharada wondered what must have been God's experiment with her creation. She was dead sure about one thing that it is something to do with "love".
There was a visible difference between Sharada and her friends; the difference was about "very natural and unbelievable". It was not about to be different "consciously"; it was just that the difference was "the conscious". While her friends were busy picking up pieces to run a show, which fulfilled every necessity, luxury or desire of the heart, mind and soul; Sharada was running behind something that she was not clear about. In reality, running behind something leads to nothing.
Women, (not generalizing but capturing certain innate qualities only close to them), have a long list of wants, needs, desires, dreams all interconnected and everything to do with the "other". It could be a living or a non-living thing - like a daughter, son, husband, lover, father, mother, sister, brother, friends or jewellery, clothes etc. And when shot down, its out blamed on the wish list and the "other". However, this entire spectrum of wants, needs, desires do not seem to stop...they go on. There is no threshold for "happiness"; If one is satisfied, it directly indicates complacency or "lacks vigour to grow". If one is "not satisfied", then it means "unhappy" and will "never be happy".
"The Purana suggests that "vasana" (or desires) is an "enemy" of mankind. Overcoming "vasana" is the entire thread-line of this life. One fascinating story of "vasana" stuck to Sharada and she internalized it thoroughly.
A love story of Lord Krishna and Meera (as in Meerabai):
Men and women in Mathura were warned of "little Krishna" for his legendary activities in the villages of Vrindavan and Gokul. Women especially were controlled and were forced to stay away from his "vichitra maya". One such time when Lord Indra showered rains as a result of his fury on the people of Gokul, Lord Krishna came forward to ensure their security. At this time a newly wed couple were travelling from Gokul to Mathura. The bride in her "ghunghat" was instructed to walk her head down and not get distracted by "anyapurush - Krishna or other man". Lord Krishna parallely after performing worship and offering prayers to Mount Govardhan lifted it as a umbrella on the little finger of his right hand so that everyone could take shelter under it. On a run to save lives, the couple ran under Govardhana mountain. The bride lifted her head dropping her ghunghat and the very sight of Krishna put her mind and heart in mixed chaos for having been deprived of this "uttamapurush" or "ultimate man" for so long and that longing for having missed him for years put her in splits. She walked abode with this desire or "vasana" in her.
The "vasana" made her come back to the world as "Meera"; that began the story of Krishna and Meerabai. An eternal, soulful, undying devotion of an ordinary woman to merge with God."
Sharada fathomed into the motives of Meera, as Krishna's Meera. She spiritually questioned if something like that could be experienced? And if it did, then how much it did. Sharada in her "selfishness to understand" was ready to undergo Meerabai's pain only to be merged with Krishna, which of course is impossible. Her realisation of "vasana' in this birth is perhaps a reminder to her that she is carrying it for ages along with her. She would love to call herself a reincarnation of Meera, which of course was very cliched.
Her tryst with Krishna, her own Krishna in the form of man, or her "vasana" carried for so long, created a reasoning to be different. She was running behind the "unbelievable" - of acquiring moksham in the living world.
Sharada's cards were obviously, one of love. Representing new or renewed love that tends to sweep off one's feet and give that feeling of security and happiness. A time opening up to celebrate love, a new romance, a first intimate relationship. He is somewhere on the horizon and a new love is about to bloom. A focus on bringing back that spark and to live life to the fullest only to remember always that love overcomes all.
1982, February, as a result of love, Anirudh was born to lovely young parents.
