I was walking on a path between Heaven & Hell; My head bowed low & I heard a bell.
I slowly raised my head & tried looking through; far till the horizon, I could see nothing but sky blue.
I kept walking straight, neither left nor right; Hell was black & Heaven was white.
Gates were closed, no souls could I see; no Angel in disguise, no Devil on tree.
All of a sudden, I heard a strange voice; which asked me to halt & make a wise choice.
Confused & bewildered, I screamed, “Anybody there?” ; something in white robe, walked towards me in flare.
My senses were awakened & I was bathed in water Holy; I was taken to ‘Hall of Rest’ & I was put to rest slowly.
Few minutes later, when I woke up to a pleasant smell; I was shown Eden Garden & the bad Satan’s Hell.
All of a sudden, words reach my ears, “you’ve committed sins & you should be punished with fears.”
“Choose out of this – ‘Rebirth’ or ‘Hell’?”; 50 years of Mankind or 5000 Hell-years, you tell!”
A hand came from somewhere & held my wrist light; made me peep in Hell & my soul was cold & fright.
Ugly, dirty, deformed. Hell was full of these; The Hand caressed my soul & warmed down my freeze.
A High-Spirit whispered, “If you choose rebirth, you’ll be choosing a Holy chance; to do good on earth, in reality & not in trance!”
“Yes, you’ll be punished, but not like that in hell; now make a prude decision, it’s time for you to tell.”
I chose to take rebirth & the Spirits were all smiling; They started updating my records & punch in my filing.
“Go you sinner go, go wash off your sins; suffer & we’ll come to take you, so clean your deeds & rinse.”
“Note this down strictly, do good to all being; spread love, knowledge & peace & we Spirits will be seeing.”
“Compromises & Sacrifices is the root punishment in your fate; live it to the fullest & we’ll mark you up-to-date.”
“You’ll be born as ‘Anil’, meaning full & in abundance; surprises will be bestowed, beyond your imagination, in redundance.”
Way back from behind, a Spirit in 7th Realm rose; walked towards me & Blessed me on my nose.
“Go my child, go, you’ll do good to all men, you’ll be born as gay & you’ll be surrounded by women.”
Laughed in bounty, all Spirits & me; time had come, to sign the ‘Treaty of Destiny’.
What more should I write, I remember only this; until my Mother gave me Birth & I sought bliss.
Love All & Spread Smiles!
