The Tragedy of Man

After creating a beautiful world per man’s desires, God settled human beings on earth with a condition: “You can only see this world but will not achieve it.”

God created a beautiful and enjoyable world. He made all the arrangements as per man’s desires in this world. After that, He settled human beings in this peaceful, beautiful world, but with a condition attached to his settlement on earth: “You can only see this world but will not achieve.”

Man is attracted to the comforts and pleasures of this world. However, man cannot achieve the comforts and pleasures of this world. Therefore, a man who has not yet achieved the world finds himself as deprived as one who has already achieved it.

Gul Anand, a film producer from Mumbai, was married to a beautiful woman named Shobha. This couple had everything a man could wish for. He had many houses in Mumbai, where he started living in the Paradise of happiness.

However, after some time, he felt something was missing. They were still deprived of a child. This feeling started creating a silent distance between the two. Eventually, they adopted a boy and a girl from an orphanage, raising them as their son and daughter. Still, this artificial strategy could not compensate for their feelings of deprivation. Eventually, the distance increased to such an extent that they started living separately in different houses.

Shobha’s doctor diagnosed that she was mentally disturbed. He treated her for ten years, but that was of no avail. After all, on 8th February 1983, this painful story ended. Shobha lived in Mumbai on the sixteenth floor of an apartment on Peddal Road in Neelam Baar. On February 8, she closed the door from the inside. First, she threw her children out of the window and then jumped herself. All three died on the spot. According to the reporting of the English Newspaper, Shobha’s husband said: “I do not know the exact medical terms for my wife’s mental disorders.” (Times of India, Mumbai, 9 February 1983)
