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.
