Useless tears

Years passed, one day supriya become ill. Her illness was becoming more and more difficult to cure. No physician could cure her. Sushant was trying all the things to restore Supriya's health. But his best efforts proved fruitless. And one day the little daughter Supriya died of her illness.

After her death Sushant was totally irreconcilable. He became a bitter recluse, refusing every activity that my restore his poise and bring him back to his normal self.

One night he had a dream. He was in heaven and witnessing a grand pageant of all the little child angels. They were marching in an apparently endless line past the Great White Throne. Every child angel was wearing white gown and carring a candle in hands. Everyone's candle was lit up.

Suddenly Sushant saw a little girl angel whose candle was not lit up. Confused Sushant was watching at her. After few seconds he realized that the little girl angel is none other than Supriya.

He rushed towards her hold her in his arms and asked, "Oh my lovely daughter, why your candle is not lit?"

She said, "Father, they often re-light it, but your tears always put it out again."

Just then Sushant woke up. The lesson of his dream was crystal clear. From then on he was no longer a recluse, but mingled cheerfully in his life with people around him. No longer would his little darlings candle be extinguished by his useless tears.
