As a country, we have been overwhelmed by the devastation caused by the second Covid wave turning itself into a monstrous tsunami. To cope with tough times, being positive though a necessary beginning may not be enough. One has to be more courageous than just being positive. Perhaps, the word ‘positive’ and ‘positivity’ never had such a dreadful meaning as in the time of corona.
While the grief caused by the pandemic is excruciatingly real, there is another reality that is sacred, sublime and infinitely elevating. More than ever, one needs to be in touch with that reality which is to be discovered deep within ourselves. This reality, which is beyond the duality of pain and pleasure, gain and loss is the source of all healing. Even though not deliberately chosen, often one’s grief creates a rupture in one’s heart through which a greater possibility may surface.
