ON THE OTHER SIDE OF DEATH

What is the good of coming to one’s senses when death is at hand? The time to do so is prior to death’s approach, when one is in a position to act. If this could happen, there would be less injustice and oppression in the guise of justice. But before death approaches, man is unwilling to give a second thought to the propriety of his actions. He keeps on doing all he can to satisfy his ego. And when temporal power and physical strength fail him, he is lost for words. Only when he finds that the unrelenting hands of the angels of death are inescapable, does he dwell on all his wrongdoings, although the time to think about this was while he was busy pursuing his selfish desires. But at that time, people, generally, are simply not willing to accept any advice that would deflect them from their false aims and set them on the right path. o The Harsh Reality Man sees only this world. Death is to him, then, a cruel blow, removing him from the land of his dreams. But if he were to see the world beyond death he would realise that it is that eternal world of infinite blessings that should be worked for. What 'new lease of life' can there be when the spectre of death lies in wait? Those who seek new life will find it only in the world that lies beyond death.
