I saw few people
gathered in a pool to party. They were drinking alcohol. One girl was screaming
that it’s one life and let’s enjoy. I am not a kind of person who is against
anything. It’s everyone’s individual choice. If she wants to spend her life like
this then it’s her choice. I would never say, you should not do what you like,
in fact I always say, you must do which you enjoy or else you would not be
happy. Now it depends on us, in what we can be happy. And there is no judgement
of good or bad in this. Who are we to judge anyone. For me, if I like
something, it becomes good for me and if I don’t like something it becomes bad.
Once I met a person who said that a person who smokes can never have a good
character. He will be of a loose character. I asked him, what smoking has to do
with character. It definitely has to do with health but what it has to do with
a person’s moral character and he did not have any answer. So we are no one to
judge anyone else.

However, the girl put a
big question in my mind. It’s one life, so what do you want to do with this one
life. Do you just want to be here simply and feel what did you do when you look
back or do you want to look back and say to yourself that yes I lived my life. If
you want to look back and say that yes I lived my life and I can die today,
then you need to wake up from your slumber now and ask yourself what would make
me feel that yes I actually lived my life. Sometimes, I wonder why people are
scared of dying? We don’t want to be unhealthy or have any ailments that is
understandable because it creates a physical pain and physical pain might lead
to mental or emotional pain. However, in general to be scared of dying, why so?
We know this from the day one that death is the biggest truth of life and is
inevitable. So acceptance of death should be the first thing. We all are
immortals but we are not immortal in physical form. The soul is immortal but
the physical body is not. So everyone who so ever is in physical form, has to
leave physical plane. Even when God was born, he had to. So death is the biggest
truth we live always. If we know the truth them we have to accept and even if
we die tomorrow, then also we cannot stop living today. So if you have to die
tomorrow, then would you worry today or how would you like to spend that one
day? If you have to die any day, then how would you like to spend your life.
How do you want to think about yourself when you are on death bed? How do you
want your grand children to talk about you, when you are watching from up above
there? Think about all this and then think how do you want to spend this one
life which you have got?
