Two years back my sister (5-6 years elder
than me) left us and now her 18 years old son also joined her in her heavenly
journey. He was ill for quite a long time but 18 years is too early for a child
to leave this world.
While coming back to Delhi I was struggling
with lots of questions and answer in train. Death is the only truth which every
one (believer or non believer/ Aastik Or Naastik) knows but do not wants. No
one has escaped the death and, we all know, no one will escape it either but
look at ourselves. How we live. What we do. As if we are here forever.
The fact is that no one wants to die. Even
those who are certain of going to heaven, also don’t want to die. Probably Death is the only discovery we all
tend to ignore.
In the train to Delhi, one question very often
stuck me. And it kept coming frequently till I reached Delhi. Death knows no
age and gender. If no one can escape death, then why don’t we do preparation
for it?.
I don’t know what does it mean to prepare
of the death but I guess it should be to be nice and humble and do what is
right.
It is a difficult task but smaller than
death to do what is right, do what is just and do what is going to bring
positive change in the lives of most marginalized section of our society.
Just a thought
