The Absurdity of Life.
Death is the one and only inevitable certainty in life. Accidents and diseases are sheer causes that eventually lead to this reality. Every one is well aware of this truth, but some are living as if they will never die, and some others are dying on the death bed as if they haven’t lived yet! It is because of the goodness of one’s own previous actions that one is lucky to be born on this wonderful Earth in human form. Among them, one must be extremely lucky to be without any deformity, intelligence, with loving & caring parents to look after and with other paraphernalia of material comforts. Still man keeps on lamenting on his shortcomings and unnecessarily blame on others for petty things. This human life is a very rare chance to live peacefully with all other creatures and to know the intelligence behind these amazing creations. It is a mixture of both happiness and sorrow which are only transient phenomena. Peace and happiness depends on making others happy and peaceful or at least not hurting others feelings. The base of a peaceful mind lies in its purity and good actions. To realize the truth that nothing in this world is eternal and to relinquish step by step from all wishes and bonds, one must make his mind ready for the final journey of no return. The life boat on its journey, makes some one to laugh and some others to cry, finally crumbles by hitting at the walls of death and vanishes into the memories of time.
So let us pray together;
“Asathoma Sat Gamaya
Thamasoma Jyothir Gamaya
Mrityoma Amritham Gamaya.
Aum Saanthi, Saanthi, Saanthihi.”
Brihdaranyakopanishad.
Meaning:-
Oh God, Lead us from untruth to Truth,
From darkness to Light
From death to Immortality.
Let Peace be every where and for every one.
