Dear Friend,

Has anyone ever survived this mortal world? Has anyone remained on this earth that they have served? No, this is one thing I learnt. Whoever has gone, has never returned I wish, I wish I can overturn the time of my life and to live for my lord. All the mercy and guidance my lord glorified me with, I chose to ignore “It’s your life, your rules”, my cold heart whispered to my soul, and again I was reassured But the truth was, there was a world above my ignorance that was unexplored My deprived soul kept on dragging me toward my lord, but I let my ego stay alive. I kept on living with blankets of deceit over my eyes, not realising the true meaning of life In his presence did I ever feel the need to seek for forgiveness? But I would not stop to think about this until my soft cheeks would grow cold and the blood in my pulse freezes… The news of a loved one departing this world left me remorseful and hopeless about my life. What state will I be in when my soul leaves my outer shell? Then I thought: is it too late to awaken my soul? Is it too late to purify my heart that has dwelled in the seas of apathy? No…it is not too late, this one thing I learnt, I can destroy the dirt in my heart and deny my ego to take control, and I will rebuild myself from within before making a change in the world I will make a transformation from within (A narrative reflection by the latter self to its former self, in awakening to a new dawn of thinking).
