I have to ask you, and any reader who is following this, to tell me something--tell me what you think is more important---her pact with God, and in essence her faith, or her pact with Rudra, by which I mean what she owes him as is wife. What should carry weight?I deliberately left Part 2 open, because I am asking myself this. Paro's love for Rudra is WHY she is leaving him, why she gave him up. If it was a lesser love, then she wouldn't have sacrificed it before her God. And BTW, I don't buy the--but God wont bargain, he is selfless" argument--because as per the serial--God kinda did. The second she gave him up in the temple, the light shone and he came back to his senses. That showed God accepted their pact. Now, which of her two Gods should she anger, which one should she betray? Suggestions? Opinions?
Napster darlinggg!
I have been thinking about this all day. I am going to sit at my desk and type on the damn ipad with both hands, because one-handed typing makes for road rage type profanity!
I think that the whole scene in the temple brought out one very important thing. When you make a bargain with God, you ask for something that you cannot live without and you give something that you cannot live without, right? THAT IS ONE AND THE SAME THING ! ...ok I will stop shouting.
So what are you doing in effect? You are asking for your life, and giving up your life. You are in fact, surrendering unconditionally to your Maker. What He is doing up there is shaking his head and smiling at our foolishness! In our barter, there is no barter! In our deal, there is no deal! We are asking for what he gave us, and we are giving back what he gave us!
Really, we are just running to him and hiding our faces in His Lap! We cease to think we can control things, and we become helpless. And then, He will lift up our faces and show us the way!
That was the message I got. Thats why the Pandit asked her his conundrum of a question! Thats why she answered ... His life is most important to me, and I will give him up! God was showing our poor lost silly Paro, and she in her grief did not see it, does not see it!
God gave Rudra to Paro, just as he gave Paro to Rudra! Her duty to him, is but her duty to God!
Napster, remember Abraham and Isaac? In my interpretation, the message is the same. God gave Isaac to Abraham, to love and protect, and asked for him back. And at the last moment, he spared Abraham of what would have been a terrible thing. It is kind of the story told backwards! But Abraham surrendered to the will of God, and God had already willed that Isaac would be the son of Abraham, and carry his seed forward.
So, if we read the signs, we know that Paro must learn to read them too. Now, what will those signs be? Will they come from a pair of molten eyes? Words spoken in a voice that whispers of thunder? From a discovered bus ticket? From danger and thus protection?
Show us the way, Navin!
Waiting! 🤗
