Death is Inevitable

The very word raises a lot of questions. The word ‘death’ casts a gloom in one’s mind. A smile gets overshadowed by a serious expression.


I was checking my mailbox for the daily knowledge messages. I usually select a topic that draws my attention and reserving it to be read during my spare time. The day begun on a gloomy note wherein my heart was kindaff heavy with bizarre thoughts, making irrational speculations of my future. I believe my room as been a peaceful recluse during such mood swings. This time the topic was, ’10 points about Death’. What better would have chosen when already dull, I thought? I saved it for the evening Gyaan time.


That’s when I hear that Dadaji’s health is deteriorating and that the doctor has forwarded his case to the Supreme Power up there. He had been ill for quite some time. Nothing serious, except that at 87 perhaps it was getting tougher to recoup the lost energy as before. It seems he expresses his helplessness and a desire to leave to God’s abode. A little water or a spoon of health drink suffices his daily need. Sleep seems an illusion and restlessness the call of the hour. When the preparation for my wedding is gaining more momentum a thought of his painful struggle each day makes me feel low. Perhaps its all in God’s hands as all say.

I just read the article on ‘Death’. Quite situational I say. When all fear an ill-omen and resort to sincere prayers for something peaceful, I see the pain he is going through each breath. As written in the ‘Bhagwath Geeta’- ‘Sambhavaami Yugae Yugae’,so be it God's will and blessing.
