The Comedy or the Tragedy

Every man’s case is just the same: successful life, eventual death and facing the unknown. Successful is one who realizes this reality, and makes himself deserving of eternal Paradise.

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru (d. 1964) was the son of a wealthy father. It was said of him that “Nehru was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.”

Jawaharlal Nehru achieved much fame and success in his life. But after 1962 he was a victim of disappointment and in the same state, he died suddenly at the age of 75 years. He left this world in such a way that, except for his own material existence, everything else had left him.

This is the situation more or less of every human being. Everyone may be born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but everyone dies helplessly without any spoon in his mouth.

This is the biggest tragedy of human life to which every man and woman should give thought. Every man’s case is just the same—a successful life, eventual death, starting with great expectations and ending with disappointment. Every man and woman’s story is a comedy at the beginning and a tragedy at the end. The successful person in this world is the one who knows this reality and plans his life with a deeper sense of reality. This is the secret of success of all men and women in the present world. This is the criterion by which a person’s success or failure will be determined.
