When Hearts Embrace Hearts-3 ||| Feathers will wear away!

When Hearts Embrace Hearts-3

Feathers will wear away!

Long ago, a group went to study the functioning of a reputed television manufacturing company. An establishment with a big factory! And, the factory was just a place where all parts were assembled. The various parts were manufactured by small-scale industrial units based in villages surrounding it. The circuit board was handled by housewives of a village. Their job was just to acid wash the painted boards and dry it. They had no clue about other functions of the product or the factory. And, when all the parts manufactured at various places were assembled inside the factory, the television became a reality!

Just think about our position. We hardly know anything about the universe and our own lives. We have a partial view of it. Look at a tree, and only one dimension of it is visible to us. The other facets remain hidden from our eyes. Some aspects of our lives are very vivid and some remains completely out of bound. Even our knowledge about those aspects we know is partial. Low creatures, who aren’t even aware when they shall return, a lifetime literally inside intensive care unit! Unpredictable, any moment!

We got some obligations to carry out. Just accomplish it. And get back to the actual Owner. Actions aren’t enough! Good actions are required. The time and space between life and death is meant for it, says a Holy Book.

Birds need feathers to fly. Once birds die, feathers start to wear away. The obligation of feathers end once birds stops flying. Whatever we possess in our lives are like the feathers. It helps us accomplish the obligations, Almighty has assigned us. Wealth, health, fortune and time – all of these will wear out. And, we shall return.

In front of us lies what the Scripture told, the Messenger conveyed and the Guide showed. We ourselves have to walk our way. Our success is our responsibility. Death is the full stop, before which we got to accomplish everything. When one looks through the keyhole, the vision is skewed and not whole. One gets to have the complete and perfect view when the door is opened. 

Life is the keyhole! And, death the door!
