Whispers by the River: Lessons

By the quiet village’s gentle stream, Sat Sandesh, lost in thought, in a dream. Questions swirling within his heart, Seeking answers, not knowing where to start. "Dear God," he asked, "why comes the pain? Why does justice sometimes come late in vain?" The river rippled, soft and clear, A gentle voice whispered for him to hear— "My child, it is natural to seek and ask, But not all truths come in an easy task. Life’s lessons are hidden, slowly revealed, Through every sorrow, your heart is healed." "But I have walked the path that’s right, Why must I suffer, bear this fight?" God smiled softly, with love profound, "Strength is born where trials are found. Pain does not break you, it shapes your soul, It teaches compassion, it makes you whole." "Ask your questions, wait and see, When your heart opens, you will hear me." Sandesh sat in quiet, the truth now near, Learning the journey is asking, not just hearing clear. From that day forth, fear did depart, Challenges became lessons, wisdom in his heart. And in every storm, he vowed to stay true, Asking God’s guidance in all that he’d do. ✍️ Sandesh pariyar
