Today in the morning a thought struck my mind- what to ask for on my 17th birthday from my parents? I thought of a wonderful thing to ask for. Before I tell what that thing is let me tell you the reason behind it.
The human life is filled with so many ironies and the biggest among them is that we all want to go to heaven but no one wants to die.Death is something we all fear as it brings an end to all our achievements, an end to our desires, an end to our name, fame and riches. Within nanoseconds the most powerful creature of the world is converted into ashes. but we all know that it is inevitable. Everything that is manufactured comes with an expiry date too. What makes it worse is that we don’t get one stamped on us. but do we really die?
Surely our body ceases to work are we just the combination of tissues and bones?
I once read that we don’t have a soul. We are a soul wrapped up by a body. We all are aware of the immortal nature that the soul is believed to have.
This means the whole life that we spend to cheer this body up ends the same with all- at funeral pyre. What we forget is to embellish our soul. We become so engrossed in achieving our physical desires that our soul has to find another body to get its desires fulfilled.
What happens most often is our physical form dies while spiritual doesn’t. But what should really happen is that our spiritual form i.e. soul should come to an end which can happen only if it is satiated while our physical form be allowed to live.? HOW?
Maybe by making someone else see through our eyes, breathe through our lungs, walk through our limbs or all of these. Maybe by pumping blood in someone else’s body through our heart or by filling someone else’s arteries and veins by our blood.
I don’t really want my physical form to be converted into ashes. I want to live even after I die. So maybe to get a will prepared so as too donate all my organs would be the best gift to ask on my 17th birthday.
Hope someone gets inspired to donate theirs’ after reading this. If you liked this kindly visit my post Life goes on
