Life - Capricious Chain

The journey of the life starts as soon as we are born in this universe. Universe includes everything in and around us. Before we came on in this universe, we would have struggled more than billions and billions of years in the hell. Today is the result where our fortunate deeds dragged us back to this mother earth.

The heaven and hell is the two terms which fears the people around. But no one has seen, reached or predict how heaven and hell would be. But there is one alternative to predict how much peace and happiness and sufferings would be in heaven and hell respectively. Therefore, religion for me is the best alternative to picture the real scenarios in heaven and hell.

Life after death is either to go to heaven or hell. That's common phenomena for all sentient beings. We have to pass through same path irrespective of posts, rich, poor and etc. That is why avoid “Covetousness, Harmfulness, Wrong-views”. Our mind ought to be well trained. Desires should be avoided as human desires are unlimited. For example, if we drink salty water, our thirst would not be quenched but rather it would increase our thirst. Therefore, our desires are as same as drinking salty water where it would not be fulfilled as long as we die. Therefore, avoid the desires.

We would not able to predict the life series. We would not know what comes next. We would not know what happen after few seconds, minutes and hours, forget about months and years. Every individual likes to be happy and no single person like sadness to overrule them. That is major human desires and unquenchable thirst of life.

Be it rich or poor, have and have-nots, man or woman, boy or girl, etc... But one must pass through same path to get to after-death destination. Our mind should be given training through practicing Dharma. Dharma at the end of the day is treatment for our mind. Therefore, egoistic and self-centered thoughts should be avoided.

Let our life blaze like Butter lamps glowing in the picture. Then that will give true picture how our mind would be.

As and when I mentioned such in above lines, it is not that I am following all the words I mentioned. I just assumed myself but also trying my best.
