When Hearts Embrace Hearts-4
Memories!
A sage with one of his disciple is taking a stroll through the village. They see a crowd gathered near a small hut. There is commotion. Someone has died there. They enquired. The head of the family has expired. The loud cries coming out were painful and excruciating.
“O Sage! Why is God so cruel to human being?”
“What cruelty? Is someone’s death a cruelty? If nobody dies, what would happen to the world?”
“Had this person died after accomplishing all his obligations and attaining old age, their loved ones wouldn’t have to go through this painful ordeal?”
“The tasks that remain to be completed are in people’s thoughts. What Almighty intended is already complete.”
“O Sage! Isn’t the sudden death of someone like snatching away life mercilessly from this world?”
Never, even after death, they continue to remain in this world. In the lives of their loved ones, they will carry on as usual. It isn’t a likely possibility for everyone. Those who could bequeath good memories during the lifespan bestowed to them can only continue so in this world. Like the leaves shed by the trees become manure and nourishes and helps the forests to sustain.
Utmost, the feast on this earth ends more or less in thirty thousand days.
What’s the finest gift one can give somebody? Memories! Isn’t it?
And, the most terrible gift! It’s memories again!
Only memories stay back.
Seconds will vanish from the clocks of age! Dates will disappear from the calendars of life! The enchanting images from mind’s album will also fade away! The memories one bequeaths shall become part of us as salt melts in the sea. Prophet Abraham prayed and wished that coming generations should speak well about him. That’s what should be left behind. Hence, every moment on this earth becomes valuable and significant. Who knows about the final moment with the loved ones!
Their exist someone for each person! Someone like an anchor! Someone who won’t go away! Someone who would appear as memories and kiss heart! We should also try to remain inside someone. We would all end up as some tales for others to recount at the end of this rat race!
Beautiful writeup... 🌺
ReplyDeleteIn mahabharata ' a yaksha by the enchanted pool asks dharamraj Yuddhisthir what is the greatest surprise of all...he replies that though every day a hundred thousands die' still we continue to live like immortals..
The only way to live forever is to live in memory or in books...
But again its difficult to be stoic when ur dear one passes away...😊
Thanks a ton. We are just memories, good or bad!
