How Strange!

How strange it is that with someone’s death, a throbbing life is blotted out all of a sudden! A smiling face is extinguished in a second, as if it were even more valueless than a bit of mud! A soul, with all its hopes and dreams, is suddenly removed completely from sight, as if its hopes and dreams had no reality at all!

Life is enormously meaningful, but death appears to make it meaningless. No matter how free human beings seem to be, they are utterly helpless in the face of death! For human beings, their desires and dreams are very dear, but death snatches all these in a trice!

If we were to remain aware of our impending death, we would never go astray. The secret of a successful life is to agree to live within one’s limits, and, for this purpose, death is the greatest teacher.
