6) How can one stop someone from weeping?

Not to hurry the funeral
Normally the consciousness of the departed ought to feel no
pain for what happens to the body after his or her departure. But
there is in the material body itself a consciousness called the "spir-
it of the form" which takes some time to get completely out of the
aggregated cells; its departure is the starting point of a general
decomposition, and before its departure it may have a kind of feel-
ing of what happens to the body. That is why it is always better
not to be in a hurry for the funeral.

Grieve not
Your father died because it was his time to die. Circumstances
can be an occasion but surely not a cause. The cause is in the Di-
vine's will and nothing can alter it.
So, grieve not and surrender your sorrow at the feet of the
Divine. He will give you peace and freedom.

Now you are no longer able to bend over this body and take care
of it, you can no longer express through your acts your deep af-
fection, and it is this which is painful. But you must overcome this
sorrow and look within, look above, for it is only the material body
that will be dissolved. All that you loved in her is in no way affected
