Death – Overrated or Underrated ?

We are all going to die. All stars are going to fall. All this blooming greens will face the reality of ‘fall’.

A droplet, whether in a stagnant pond or a flowing river or in an ocean have to face the summers and reach the sky. We all will reach the sky.

A beautiful flower, will be cut down for turning it into a token of Love, others will be cut down for being a weed in garden. We all will be cut down.

The Rich will be exploited to Extinction, the poor will be left for Extinction. We all will become extinct.

A small pebble has the past of huge mountain and the huge mountain present now, will live long enough to see itself turn into a pebble. We all will become nobody someday.

A fire doesn’t know the difference of price. when consuming a thing, it only turns them into ash. We all are just ash in the end.

Particles of air which support life of one being, is also getting blamed, for opposing the life of another being. We all will be judged.

Everything in this universe is programmed, yet everyone gets affected for slightest thing called death of others and is perceived as a ‘change’ to trend of their programmed regular lives, but in reality, death is just the must needed trend or feature of this life.No one can turn into an anomaly in this death trend.

Yet, when a person demise from this physical world, we all get affected.

Death is Overrated!

Overrated because, we are all going to face this one reality for sure, yet all this grief and mourning.

Death is ‘death’ because there is no ‘life’ in it.

A body needs a life, a body needs oxygen to be alive, a body needs warmth to be alive, a body needs water to be alive, a body needs food to be alive. But your soul never asked oxygen to show love, your soul never asked for food to show empathy, your soul never asked for riches to show mercy on poor.

You cannot make someone feel the warmth of your body when your body is dead, but your memories can make people heart cheer with love.

We should all revisit the dictionary of life and know, which actually has a ‘life’ ? The body or the soul ?

The death we all are mourning, the death, which is making us grieve, is the death to ‘body’. This death is Overrated.

In this small stinct called life, what we have in our hands all the time is the ability to make ourselves more available to the needy, to the ones in need of love, to the ones in need of sympathy and when this body becomes no more capable of carrying this great soul, we should all sing praises to the ‘life’ the soul has lived instead of grieving for the ‘body’ it has left.

Death is Underrated!

Death is Underrated. Hope is one thing what humans left here are driven with. Yet, all are our hopes around a person are shattered and are put a full stop to when death meets that person.

As a wise Mr.Forrest Gump said, “Life is like a box of chocolates, we never know what we gonna get” . Maybe, the almighty who have given this beautiful thing called life here, planned for something big after it.
Maybe, once you go there you may actually accomplish all the things which you wished for, but couldn’t do during your stay on Earth.
Maybe, death to body is the sole eligibility criteria to a much better place.
We never know, so, don’t let hopes die with the body of person.Keep them alive, nourish them with beautiful memories the person had with you.

In the end, everything is planned, we are just Lord’s soldiers and should trust in the plans of our undisputed king, for he is the reason for something called ‘Us’.

Death is Underrated. People never include it along the words of ‘Love’, ‘Respect’, ‘Soul’ etc when they talk about ‘Eternal’ things, even when they know that everyone is going to be said goodbye one day.

No matter in how many areas we all can be differentiated among ourselves, death is ‘the only thing’ which we are all united with. You are never in same team with some people when it comes to ‘Love’ / ‘Respect’ because of the selfish/ jealous traits of humans.
But we all are united by ‘Team Death‘. We are ‘blessed with death’ yet death is so Underrated.

Life is much better when we celebrate both ‘life’ of soul & death of ‘body’. Maybe it is difficult to do this, even to me and that’s what makes us ‘human’, but we should keep on practicing it until we reach our death bed, for it makes us sail smoothly.

“Punarapi jananam punarapi maranam
Punarapi janani jathare shayanam
Iha samsare bahudustare
Kripayapare pahi murare”

Meaning -“Birth and Rebirth is inevitable to all Humans and how he is born depends on his deeds of his Previous Birth or Purvajanma karma and cannot be altered. Therefore the present Janma is only to extinguish past deeds good or bad and also to add new karma which will reflect only in Next Karma.“
