On that evening Ramu was ambling down the street next to his house. Suddenly he saw a group of people in white clothes, they were carrying a body.
He asked a passer by what's all the fuss about. He told him someone had died. He had seen such a thing for the first time in his life. A current of fear ran through his whole body .He was aghast and he trembled with fear.
His eyes were frozen and he was dumbstruck.
He ran towards his house and hugged his mother tightly and narrated the whole incident to her and asked her what death was to which she replied in plain words that it was a natural phenomenon and every creature who comes on this earth has to die. He said then what's the use of life if we have to die. She asked him not to to worry so much and asked him to go to sleep.
The mystery was not leaving him and even followed him in his dreams where he had a meeting with God, obviously the only question he asked Why do you give us life if you have to take it back?
God said my dear son what happens when you go to a birthday party. He said that I give a gift to my friend along with good wishes and blessings, we enjoy a lot and at the end he gives a return gift and we accept it with thanks.
.
God smiled and replied "Same is the case here my son, life is a gift which I give to you on your birth along with my blessings and death is the return gift which I take back from you so instead of worrying about the return gift enjoy and utilize the gift which I have bestowed upon you and be ready to give me the return gift with a thanks.
Ramu felt relaxed and rejuvenated with energy because he had understood the mystery of life and death and from that day onwards he pledged not to waste even a single moment of his precious life.
On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night.
If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.
Hope we can live pure life ..!
