Blessed With Love
Love is my religion
And I could die for that.
I could die for you.
John Keats
Love that is the very foundation of Devotion ... is his religion to Maan & Geet is the source of it...the orbit around which his world revolves ...his love , his life.
Though not an atheist he never found it necessary to channelize his faith for 'the divine' through 'outside sources'.... He has been shown to equally respect every religion & pay his respect at their places of worship be it The Golden Temple or The Dargah, The Church (Demello Wedding) or Diwali pooja at his home .....
Shown taking blessings of Pirr-Fakhir & elders, his Dadi maa...
But never shown carrying his faith as in mark of religion or something related to belief or for luck....
He is a man who has carved his own destiny by the sheer force of his determination , dedication & will .. he finds his means of worship in his work itself, to him God is but your soul
more profoundly ...'God is within us' .
I will love you with all my heart,
To have forever - never to part.
This is a promise ingrained in me,
To him the taveez given by Geet is a thread of divine binding that binds both their destiny ....
"Love was for me a delicate thread stretched between two adjacent pegs, but now it has been transformed into a halo; its first is its last, and its last is its first. It encompasses every being, slowly expanding to embrace all that ever will be. "
He wears it proudly & with faith , faith that he has in her & their love ....
It marks both as the memory of the moment when she confessed her heart out to him ...her fears & her love & trust for him and also is a Promise to keep the small flame of the trust & love burning for eternity
Love works magic.
It is the final purpose
Of the world story,
The Amen of the universe.
'Love, the pulse of life. The emotion that encapsulates within itself your entire world ...It is amazing how this single emotion has woven itself so intricately into the fabric of our existence. A novelty, like the first drops of dew on an untouched leaf, of the feeling makes it special & unforgettable and brings with it new feelings that are unknown to you.'
As in Maan's case concern & extreme fear for Geet's safety that always haunts him.
Though he has always been for her in times of need to such an extent that it can be called 'super human effort' on his part ...but still he is not satisfied with it.
There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe
Love makes us do things we never thought of .... the fear for her wellbeing that has him on his toes all the time makes him think of things that otherwise is so unlike him to ever do ...
Its not being superstitious but it shows his unconditional love & immense care for her that makes him hearing the Fakhir's words want the 'taveez' for Geet ...
Doing something thats so beyond your nature does not come to you easily & hence he is unsure if or how to approach the holy man... but when God resides in a loving heart & Maan being the epitome of love no wonder his soul can be clearly read through his eyes ...
The Fakhir senses his dilemma & offers him the taveez on his own & blesses him saying that this taveez will make their bond even more strong & protect their happiness & peace always ....
Something that he wanted always for Geet & himself, something that he has always promised her of & something that the taveez that Geet made him wear marks of ...
He smiles with gratefulness.
I'm not afraid of dying and I'm not afraid of death
I'm not afraid of hurting or taking my last breath
I'm strong enough to laugh even when I'm blue
I'm not scared of much I'm just scared of losing you
He rushes home to her & as surprised as he himself is at his act, and sure of same reaction from her too....he gives her the taveez ....
Surprised she is , but is overwhelmed too seeing him go all out of his way to bring small comforts to her, for her ...With a bright smile on her face & with tears of pride & joy held in her eyes she tries to comfort him , trying to rest his heart ....
To which unashamed he confesses his fears , fear of losing her. A fear that grips his soul.
Touched to the core of her being by his love so pure & so divine she knows it itself is all the protection she needs , yet she agrees to wear it for the sake of his concern & faith.
Love and faith these are two,
Intangible things God looks for in you.
Wanting to do everything right for Geet & in accord to her faith ..
Maan who never wishes for anything for himself goes to the 'mandir' & with his heart filled with both anxiety & hope , head bowed down in veneration & hands folded in total surrender to the Divine .. eyes closed with trust
he prays & conveys his fears & seeks blessings for the girl who is blessed already to have got a Soul-mate like him.
You are the one I cherish and love,
A blessing sent from Heaven above.
Love
