MOON 08-09-2015 (The Last day)
What if today was your last day? Let us not think of eternal
life and matters spirituality. You have been chasing your goals so well- in
fact living your purpose and then it happens that you can live no longer.
Sometimes we least think of death. And when we do, we look at it negatively- an
enemy. It is a result of a curse. But yesterday I was thinking of death
positively. It is good to die. After doing all this and going through all that,
I need a rest. Someone should come after and continue from there. Death is a
rest. The problem is to face the last day unfulfilled
.
I was anxious to see the face of the crescent on its last
day. I am not certain whether there will be a ‘stubborn’ death thereafter. It
may refuse to die and show again another thinner curve. I am not sure for that
but I will sleep with the door open to observe.
At cockcrow, I obeyed the alarm and went outside. Not that I
had flowing sleep. Over the face nothing showed. I moved far away from it so
that I can see far into the East. And there was the satellite! Small, shinny
and curvy! Had I just thought it died yesterday, I’d miss the day’s glow. It
was weak and slow that within a short time the rays of the sun would swallow it
up before it reached the centre in the sky.
So the last day may be here or not. If I see it never again
till the other life, then I was seeing the end. The end may not be the
crumbling of the Earth- for what is minute Earth in the giant universe? The end
is to die and go. Nature does not d anything uselessly- Aristotle.
To wait for the last day is not to hope for a better time
when the last day comes. It may be tougher. It is to live today like never
before. It is not to cry in prayers- it is to understand the vanity and the
unwritten laws that nature is incorruptible. It is to wait when you are not
sure when the end will come- and if it finds you conscious, receive it.
I did an article sometimes back with a different view on the
last day. Have a look.
