Divine Mates.

Once upon a time there was a child sadhu and sadhivi who were chosen to live and meditate on the divine together by the elders.
They meditated , cooked, ate, lived and grew up together , the bond between the two was unbreakable.
Sadhvi in time came to be known as Sukanya and young Sadhu Paramjit.
They lived together in their humble cottage in the forest with meager means in total love and devotion to the divine.
They turned 25 and started to think about creating a family.
However destiny had different plans, he left one morning to collect wood and told Sukanya he would be back soon.
While collecting wood he was bitten by a snake and fainted by the riverside, A king who was out hunting in the forested spotted him in time, got him to his palace , the palace healer took care of him and dream the poison out but with one problem. The poison altered his Brain and he could not remember his past.
King had no son of his own , seeing Paramjeets qualities and unmistakably good behavior.
He adopted him, got him married to one of the princess and left the kingdom to him, which he ran successfully for many years and had a few offsprings with the queen.
In the meantime Sukanya waited patiently for him to return, cooking, gathering fruits, taking care of birds, deers and other animals that she formed a bond with over the years.

Her pain brought her closer to the divine, she slowly grew older, wiser, calmer and more beautiful than one could remember.

She radiated love and wisdom.
One day Paramjeet happened to be in the same forest hunting, he lost his way and went looking for water in his own old cottage, seeing him Sukanya's dam broke, she hugged him and shed many tears of joy, Paramjeet could not recognize her but he felt as if she knew her every bit, he was puzzled.
Sukanya touched his forehead with her finger and gave back his memory.


Paramjeet cried out in pain , he felt immense sadness for all the years lost and all the pain caused by this unintended separation.
They shed tears of joy now that they were together again.
Sukanya recognised the lines of worry appearing on his face he looked helpless.
She understood immediately.
She said she has lived with his love for many years now she does not need his physical body to love him, for her she is always there. While you need to complete your duties and fulfill your obligations,
Paramjeet nodded in agreement and left with pain and love in his heart.
Sukanya lived on for a few more years, with her love, loving silence and beauty.Till time took her back to eternity.
