There is only a single truth in this world. It is applicable to everyone. The way leading to might be different. The paradise might have been full of Success, Failure. But, the agony followed is the same.
The preceding chapter is called as: Life and the inescapable Pain is: Death.
But, do ask yourself a question before giving this post a read:
What causes Death? End of Breath or End of Inner Self which happen uncountable number of times. So, if you chose the former one, you die only once. But, if the later one is your answer, then do keep on counting: The number of times you have died till now and will die in the coming future of your life.
What do you want out of your living? You want it to be a simple routine one or will it hold a substance if your existence on this planet becomes Meaningful.
A must watch movie to understand the very essence of what I am trying to quote here is: A Wednesday. I am highly impressed by the versatile act of Mr. Anupam Kher and Mr. Naseeruddin Shah. What more encourages is the theme which serves as a background for the whole plot.
I hope every one of you reading this post must have watched this movie, and to cut it short, I just want to refer few of the intriguing discussion, all of which are sensible, if we behave as human beings and do what God has gifted us with i.e.: Think.
No. 1: Aapke ghar main cockroach aata hain toh aap kya karte hain Rathod Sahab, aap usko paalte nahi marte hain.
How many problems you have in your life? Is the number on the upward trend as you progress in life or has it taken a south direction or is the number stagnant?
How many of us really like to finish off our problems at one go, and not keep on playing with them. We can make ‘The End’ of them, but, we don’t want to become a bad person in front of someone. And these human beings are called as Smart.
Would like to share with you an interesting story told by my very dear friend Mr. Bharat Pande:
In the times of Chanakya, there was a small plant in his city, which was poisonous in nature. It had also taken life of number of people residing in the vicinity, whenever they came in the contact of plant unconsciously or knowingly. Many of them tried to uproot it, but, to vain every other time a new plant with same characteristics would emerge after few days of evacuating the previous one.
This came to the knowledge of Chanakya. One fine day he went near the plant, uprooted it and poured some Curd at the place where it used to grow. Curd has some exceptional qualities and it killed the very character of the soil, where the plant used to grow. Never again a plant was seen on that place.
The root cause of the problem was Soil and not the plant. How many times in your life have you actually attacked the root cause of the problem and not the problem itself?
In our life time, a same problem arises many a number of times, but, we just think of the time being and celebrate our victory over the problem, while the root is busy breeding seeds of similar nature.
No. 2 (a): Aur tab tak marte rehenge jab tak hum in logon ko jawab dena nahi sikhenge.
No. 2 (b): Rathod sahab mujhe yakin hain ke jo train blast hue woh sirf ek terrorist activity nahi thi, woh ek bahut bada sawal tha, aur woh sawal yeh tha ke bhai hum toh tumhe isi tarah marenge, tum kya kar loge.
How many times have you given into the wrong done to you by someone, and then let it even be your parents, relatives, siblings?
The problem lies in:
(A) We understand many things in our life, because, we are bound to understand them i.e.: Understand because of Binding.
(B) And not bind ourselves to something, because, we ourselves as a human have understood something right or wrong for us i.e.: Binding because of Understanding.
Do give it a thought? What would be your preferred choice in life: (A) or (B)?
No. 3: We are resilient by force, not by choice.
How many times in your life, you have been forced to make the choices; you are having at your disposal right now? Accepting those choices must have been dramatic or even traumatic for you, but, it would have been really difficult for you to then get out of the suffering, and then be it mental or physical.
There are some pains in life which you can heal only with time, but, how many times you have been made to heal the pain sooner than later, and the sooner part landing you into a deeper trouble.
You might not accept it at once, as in Hindi, there is a proverb which goes like this: Jo hota hain woh acche ke liye hi hota hain, and we just get away with this one.
But, give it a consideration: If everything which is happening in life is good, then why not the choice, of which you were deprived of at the first place, would have been good in your life.
No. 4 (a): Galti hamari hain, hum log bahut jaldi used to ho jate hain, ek aisa hadsa hota hain toh channel badal badal ke sara majra dekh liya, sms kiya, phone kiya, shukar manaya ke hum log bach gaye, aur phir hum us situation se ladne ke bajaye uske saath adjust karna shuru kar dete hain.
No. 4 (b): Kyun mujhe us din ka intezaar karna chahiye, jab mera koi apna bewajah is tarah ki jaleel maut mare tab mera yeh kadam aapko jayaz malum hoga.
We feel the heat only when we are suffering it. How many times do we raise our voice against the wrong done with someone else?
We are least bothered with anyone else and their problems in this world. We don’t even have a common sense to understand that: If someone can feel the pain by something, then that something can also make us feel the pain some or the other time in our life.
People in Gujarat, Japan suffered the worst earth quakes of their life time. Sorry to make it sound negative, but, can everyone of you reading this post give me an assurance, that you will not be suffering such kind of trauma ever in your life.
And this I am not talking only about earth quake, but, every other possible wrong thing under the sun. Let that be then applicable to Personal or Professional Life.
No. 5: Lekin sahab yeh acceptable nahi hain, lekin koi m*******d button daba ke mere liye yeh faisla nahi karega ke mujhe kab marna hain.
I would love to write over three SMS’s which were sent to me, by two of my very dear friends:
Aditya Bakle (My Elder Brother):
The toughest task in the world is to remain as yourself, when people are constantly trying to make you someone else.
Ketan Agarwal:
It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else’s life with perfection.
If we carry on the way, guided by someone else, we are sure to find a Hopeless End. Better to carry on the way, guided by ourselves, to find an Endless Hope.
I have never understood this in my life: How someone else can, then let it be the most important person of your life, take decision on your behalf for your life. Someone else is not going to live out your life, do agree with this fact.
My father always quotes me an anecdote, which goes like this:
You can take a Horse to riverside to drink water. But, you cannot force upon a Horse, the quantity of water he is willing to drink.
This is applicable to everything in life. Just consider this: We do the same education as our friends, let that be then in School, Graduation, Post Graduation, but, everyone’s life is different. Most of our parents do advice us to be away from Alcohol and Toxic substances, but, still many of us do have a habit of them, and many of us still refrain from them.
The problem lies in: Everyone is eager to share his or her experience of life with someone else, but, at the same time, a person feels that if something good or bad happens to him or her through that experience, then it will be applicable to everyone else. We are just unable to understand the difference in life’s of us and our close ones, then let the matter of relatives, friends, be kept aside.
To sum up this one, I would again like to write down a message sent by, Ketan Agarwal, and it goes like this:
Opinions are like Wrist Watches. Everyone’s watch shows different time. But, everyone believes that their time is correct.
At the end of this post, it would be appropriate then to ask ourselves a question to think upon:
Should we have an opportunity of death every other moment in our life? Or is it sufficient to be satisfied by the only one occasion provided by The Almighty.
