WHEN DEATH STRIKES!!!
A prosperous shopkeeper who had a chain of shops was inspired by the story of AJAMILA, (SQ – 30) wanted to outwit God & take a short cut! He named all his sons after Gods! His plan was to call their names when the moment comes!!! When he became quite old, he realized that his end had come & so he started calling all his sons' names (Calling God by proxy!) one by one 2 or 3 times hoping he would breathe his last right at that moment. But death didn't come then.
All his sons were standing before him leaving their shops waiting for some last minute instruction from their father. The father saw all the sons standing there & suddenly exclaimed, "Alas! You've all left your shops & come. Who would be looking after the shops? Who would collect the money? Some body might come & steal!" Right then he breathed his last!!!
The shops & the money were in his mind throughout his life & he couldn't switch over to God at short notice even though he named all his sons after Gods! It's no mean achievement to think of God at the last moment & have his name on ones' tongue if we haven't practiced it enough!
There are a surge of emotions & thoughts that would invade us at the last moment. Mind is like a monkey & it would play tricks. Hence it requires years & years of practice!
God of death doesn't give notice & he's not a photographer who says, "I'm going to click. Are you ready?"
We've no choice in the matter. We can't get it sooner if we welcome it nor can we avoid it or run away from it! From the time we're born, our march to the cremation ground has started.
RESPONSES…
- Dear Sir,
Day before yesterday's CHAPPATHI and today's CARROT were really good stuff.
They reminded me a "scene" in Mahabharat. King Karnan after his death goes to heaven out of his good deeds. He felt terrible hunger. He could not quench his thirst / hunger even after eating many fruits / rice / vegetables and all.
On the way, Lord Naradha appeared before Karnan and advised Karnan to put Karnan's Index Finger in his mouth. What a surprise!!!! Karnan became alright and he did not feel hungry and thirsty. He asked Lord Naradha about this secret.
Lord Naradha told him that Karnan did all Dhaanams and Dharmams except "Anna Dhanam". However, once when Karnan was on the way to forest for hunting, a poor brahmin came across and asked Karnan about the place where "Anna Dhanam" is provided. Karnan showed the way to that poor Brahmin with his Index Finger.
If the Index finger itself has got that power, imagine the power that whole Body, Atma gets... thanks
Regards
- Sir,
You have given message that what you thought you will become? I.e. thoughts make our mind. Our karma's decided by our thoughts. So our journey continues with pleasant memories with both sides of coins (i.e. pains & gains) Life time explanation with simple example. (THE CARROT)
