When we went to Singapore, it was about a year since Jispa went in a flight. When we took off and were flying high, Jispa was enjoying it. She said ‘wow – we are going up high?”. Jasmine replied in the affirmative and said “we will be as high as the clouds”. Jispa then said “NO… we will not go as high as the clouds, we cannot go”. “ofcourse we can” said jasmine. Jispa looked at me. I too confirmed “yup, see… we will be as high and higher than the clouds”. Jispa half confused, half happy asked “then we will get to see God?”. Whoops. What to answer now. I half tempted to say – sure, look hard, unless he is taking a vacation himself, you might just spot him. I don’t remember what I said. I think I said that you cant see God or something to that effect. These days, we have been having these conversations on God and his presence. Once while sleeping, she refused to sleep alone, saying that she was scared. I had to explain that there are so many Gods to protect her all around her. We have also locked the doors and the windows, so that no one will come to harm her. And from somewhere the conversation went to a point where I was explaining to her that God is inside her, inside everything and every place. Today morning while having a bath, there was another conversation on God. I was saying God is in everything. God is inside her. It is inside everything that is nice and good. So she went one “god is inside everything. It is inside a banister because it helps us and stops us from falling. It is inside the walls.” “walls?” “yes, the walls protect us and don’t fall”… “hmm… yup, God is inside everything nice and good. Now go on you have finished your bath. Tell this to mummy.”
Her brains are amazing developed for some logical thinking. When you talk to her you can make out that she is thinking, registering and then only accepting. Her mind is working. It’s not blank acceptance. Then comes, the confirmation in the form of examples of proving what she just understood. Very very cool. I am impressed.
