A group of Bengalis have come. One of them has recently lost a child. He put the question to Bhagavan "Why did that child die so young? Is it his karma or our karma that we should have this grief?"

Bhagavan: "The prarabdha which the child had to work out in this life was over and so it passed away. So we may call it the child’s karma. So far as you are concerned, it is open to you not to grieve over it, but to remain calm and unaffected by it, being convinced that the child was not yours but always only God’s, that God gave and God took away."

And in this connection Bhagavan took out the Yoga Vasishta in English to refer to the story of Punya and Pavana. Strange to say, when he casually opened the book, it actually opened at the story he had in mind. And from the book he asked me to read out the portion where Punya advises his brother Pavana not to grieve foolishly over the death of their parents, pointing out that Pavana had had innumerable births in the past, in each one of which he had a number of relations and that exactly as he is not mourning for the death of all those relations now, he should not now mourn for the death of their father either."
