When Hearts Embrace Hearts-8
Like Snakes Shed Skin!
“Animals and plants are better than human beings.”
“Why so?”
‘They don’t defy God. And never deviate from divine laws like human beings do.’
It’s true. But, I don’t want to be born so. I like the life of an intelligent and conscious human being, who accepts his transgressions when he commits it, his mind grieves and regrets his wrongdoings.
Life is the interval between tasks completed and some which one wish to accomplish, but couldn't. In most of the paths treaded, wandered away. Despite realizing the mistake, continued on same path for a while. Erred as a human being and leaned towards evil. Repentance is the decision, to take fresh steps without further slip-offs. It’s like reassessing and redefining one’s next moves like an experience of a snake shedding its skin. A few moments conversing with the Creator, weeping, bowing head down with quivering heart, and finally taking some fresh decisions. That few lonely moments would be the best gift one can reward one-self.
Every morning, after getting up from sleep, prostrating before God, the great sage Abdul Khader Gilani used to pray, “O my Lord! I shall not forget you anymore. For once, could you just have a glance of this slave of yours? That one flicker of a glance is enough for me to contented one whole lifetime.”
Devotedly, evoke His holy names. Mountains of sins, you committed will vanish. Like ‘an ember of fire burns down a mountain of cotton’, said the great saint Ramakrishna Paramahansa.
These deceptive sights will all cease to exist. Losing all near and dear ones, one will become alone. Instantly after death, elements that constitute this body will decompose, and disintegrate. Remember, each moment of this life is recorded. What would be the reaction, if you realize someone recording you using a mobile phone while you are speaking? Your attitude and opinions will start to change, consciously! That’s how it is!
