A. Certainly. Suppose a person was going from here to Paris, and he has not yet gone as far as that door, and someone called him: "Please, stop, come here." Perhaps he has gone further, and there a person calls: "Please, stop I want to speak to you." It means that he always will be detained, he will never arrive there. Then the purpose for which he was going is hindered. Now it is meant that he must go further; to call him backward, I should think is a fault against the nature itself.

With all our love and affection, the one whom we love, if it happens that that soul has passed, and is going forward, it is better to help that soul to go forward; and that one can do by sending one's loving thought, helping it on to go forward. It amused me sometimes people telling me: "I have loved someone so much, that I would not like that person to go far, that I might not be able to catch him. Will he stay in the same place until I come?" It is most amusing; to detain a person - if that person was meant to be with another person, he would not have gone. It is for his good. Detaining him would be pulling him back from that progress which is the longing of every soul.

This teaches us another idea, that those who mourn after their dear ones they certainly continue to give those who have departed pain. Because from this world, instead of having a better experience and reflecting it to them, they gather pain and offer it to their dead. The most wise thing that one could do for those who have passed is to project the thought of joy and happiness, the thought of love and beauty, the thought of calm and peace. It is in this way that one can help the dead best. God bless you.
