REST IN PEACE, THOU, 'REST IN PEACE'

REST IN PEACE, THOU, 'REST IN PEACE'

How can one rest in peace when the swinging pendulum unceasing ticks time and atoms keep rolling to congregate and dissolve? Is there any rest anywhere save in final liberation when the fetters have fallen, the universe has melted away, God has died and Man awakened to his undying Being in his own Godhead when he witnesses his Self as the God he had always sought? Till then how can rest be? How peace? How 'Rest in peace'? Does life cease in a single stroke that peace shall irrational follow? It is not a single season that makes the year nor a lone lifetime that composes corporeal existence. The Abrahamic religions are wrong, far far off the mark in their estimation of truth. Thus the fanciful 'Rest in peace'. There is no peace in Phenomena, Māyā. Peace alone abides in the Absolute, the Brahman.
