Death: Terminus or Interface?

‘Purpose’ is so imbedded in our psyche that it is not possible to visualize life without it. We see everywhere activities meticulously following a pre-ordained objective. But then there are also random dispersal of events occurring spontaneously which are ejected out of mind as irrational. Often we assign them abstract purposes. Religion plays an important role in devising objectives to such random occurrences.

Therefore our inability to visualize life without an objective is similar to our inability to visualize warping of three dimension spaces. But space too warps and it is a fact of life and therefore there is no reason why death could very well be ‘Terminus’ and not an ‘Interface’ signifying perpetuality of life.

Broken Car

The car’s number plate on the back dangled on one end. The owner apparently was not interested in correcting the anomaly. Every time he looked at the car it annoyed him. Some thing eerie about it, very irritating in otherwise a perfect car.

Just as this piece of writing.

Funny Story This!

Bhartrihari, the ancient ascetic wrote several compendiums of hundred verses each on subjects such as Shringar, Nature etc. Pleased, Yama offered him 100 years of fruitful life in the form an ‘Apple’ to be eaten. Bhartrihari loved his wife very much and therefore the Shringar verses. So instead of eating the fruit he offered it to his wife. Now wife loved somebody else; a General in the kings court. So she offered it to the General. Again, the General in turn was infatuated to a maid in the court and naturally offered the fruit to her. As is predictable, the story doesn’t end here, the maid obviously was in awe of the king therefore the fruit went to the King.

King naturally wasn’t impressed so called for a thorough enquiry to get to the bottom of the truth. When the truth was revealed, Bhartrihari was completely devastated and took vairaagya and eventually ended up writing hundred verses on Vairaagya.

What happened to the Apple?
