Thoughts of dying
« on: September 14, 2006, 04:56:08 PM »
This is from Kushwant's column. its a interesting way of looking at life  :)

Thoughts of dying

The unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough; it takes up a lot of your time. What do you get in the end of it? A death. I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first: start out dead; get it out of the way. You wake up in an old age home, feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being healthy; go collect your pension. Then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You drink alcohol, you enjoy parties; you’re generally promiscuous. (Hey, you’ve only got a few years left, what’s the big deal?) And you get ready for High School. Then you go to primary school, you become a kid, you play; you have no responsibilities. And, finally, you become a baby. The last step, you spend your last nine months floating peacefully with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, larger quarters everyday and then... you finish off as an orgasm!

O, the climax was so funny ;D
I wonder how Kushwant (Singh) would feel about salary/income, since that is also reversed and dwindles as we reverse-age.

When intelligence matures and lodges securely in the mind it becomes wisdom. When wisdom is integrated with life and becomes action it becomes Bhakti. Knowledge when it becomes fully mature is Bhakti. To believe that Jnana and Bhakti, knowledge & devotion, are different from each other is ignorance.
