Let me make it a little more concrete.
When people grow old, many people eventually pass away. I don’t like to use the word death, so they pass away into another dimension.
Let’s say, suppose you got a telegram that today is my last day then where will I go and what should I do?
Now imagine your watch is ticking and there is only one hour left to live. Now you can’t go to the family they are away and your mobile charger is down and you cannot charge it. You are full in the stomach so you cannot even order a good food, your legs are not working, TV is plugged out so what will you do in that one hour?
Now it is said when you are going to depart there are two kinds of ideas about it. One is the materialistic idea that there is nothing, you will just wither away. Another is just before you depart, it has been said by some who have explored this domain that suddenly God or his angel appears before you and imagine he came before you, just imagine he is standing before you and told you, “Ask anything you want, ask.”
You have one hour to live or maybe a few moments to live, what will you ask?
Now God appears and gives you five options, 1. You can spend time with your family 2. You can watch TV 3. He says, I’ll get you the best pizza from Italy 4. You have a future life ahead and I am going to make it as beautiful as you want to it to be, now you see you are thinking only of your family and other menial things, then he gives you another option 5. I am going to make you the most beautiful human being in time to come.
So I would ask you a question in return, “when you have a beautiful life for yourself, does it not automatically in a sense become beautiful for others?” It’s like a rose blooming, when it blooms don’t we all get the joy? So when we have a beautiful life within, it radiates to all.
Now if I tell you every moment you have this same choice, every time you wake up you have this choice, it’s just that we don’t know what is going to happen.
So what choice will you make every day? So now the best is coming, one is going beyond pizza, TV and fun and we grow in into the best possible, so that’s what we should strive for and if we live like every day we are ready for the last season.
If all our life we are thinking of only children and grandchildren, what will happen in the last season? We will do the same in the last season. If all our life, we are thinking of pizza and TV then in the last season also we will do this only.
So in the end whatever we are occupied in our whole life that we will be pre occupied in the last season as well. So you decide what your last season you want to be and let your pre-occupation start from today because what we are preoccupied with in the last moments decides our future life and the passage after death.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
