The conception should be as though the vital force of life
has come out of the body and is flying high in the bright sky. The dead body is
left lying on the bed. Arrangements are being made for its last rites. One’s
own eixistence as life is vital force which is independent of the body. The form
of body inspite of its having been under control of soul ( vital- force ) has a
total separate existence . The concept of independence of soul from body,
through frequently talked about, is seldom left. There is a faint momentary
realization of transcience of body while
accompanying a funeral procession, but soon, like flash of lightening, it is
lost in oblivion. Only when a scenario of one’s death is seriously visualized the
wisdom of self – realization dawns upon the person, which fundamental percept
of spirituality. When one goes to sleep considering death as the daily bed-
companion and constantly keeps in mind
its consequence, the reaction are capable of showing the path of self—evolution.
Daily contemplation of death, while going to bed, if carried out deeply, makes
one think about newer aspects of life. With this one concept it become more explicit
that human life is the supreme gift of God and man has been made its custodian
to making the beautiful garden of God ( the world ) better more cultured and
orderly. The futility of indulgence in decoration and comforts of the body and
absurdity or forgetting the importance of self – evolution are clearly
understood. Only then begins a strong
urge to modify one’s mode of living. Human body is only an instrument. It has been geven to us
by creator merely for fulfilling the high ideals according to his wish. If this
rare opportunity of human life is lost in trivialities of indulgence in sex,
greed, and weakness of mind like craving for material objects and in
satishfying vanity and the real objective of inner self is not fulfilled, it
would only be called castastrophe. The true
perspective, however appears only when there is an awareness of imminent death.
Otherwise, one continues to live in a stupor of self---ovlivation thinking of
nothing else than merry making. For one who losses sight of this objective in
life, fulfilling of greeds and wordly entanglements continue to be most
favourite pasttimes.
