On the Death of Wife
Place
Dt.
Dear Amartya,
We were shocked to hear of the untimely death of your dear wife Shakuntala. She was so full of life and exuberance last time we met at the party, that her departure leaves a great void.
What destiny has chalked out for us we must learn to endure with patience. Let such shocks take man towards a deep divine life.
We came alone into the world and must leave it alone.
Kindly bear with your loss for the sake of Bhanu. You must not allow him to feel completely deprived of love and security. Please do not hesitate to inform us if you need anything.
Yours truly,
Bhaskar.
