What is the saddest truth about life?
All my life, I kept shouting-
My life.
My wealth.
My wants.
My dreams.
My respect.
My success.
My miseries.
My happiness.
My failures.
My future.
My past.
Apart from this I kept worrying about my future and regretted my past.
Rest everything appeared irrelevant.
And then I died one day.
As my body lay down, I flew up higher and higher.
I couldn't feel any weight in me, all my pains went away.
I landed at an unknown place.
Stood in a long line, the end wasn't visible.
My right hand had a big yet weightless file of my deeds.
Surprisingly, I could easily recall every moment of my life.
As I went ahead, I could see an old man with white moustache and beard, and a wrinkle free beautiful face.
I realised that he is the God whom we fear and make deals with on Earth.
He just looked at every transparent body of light (just like me) for a moment and pushed it forward.
As I reached near him, I could smell a mesmerizing scent and feel the freshest breeze I could ever imagine.
And then suddenly, I was in front of him.
He looked at me and time stopped for everyone else except us.
He looked at my file and said-
“A life is only each active moment you live and nothing else”
I nodded my head in acceptance.
He then raised his tone and said-
“Did I ever burden you with two moments to live at a point of time?”
“No God” I replied.
“Did I ever tell you your future?” he said.
“No God" I replied again.
“Then why were you always so stressed and worried about your future?”
“How did you assume everything in advance and complicate your life so much?”
I was silent and just thinking about how right he was.
All my life I was just concerned about what hadn't happened and kept wasting the precious moments which were actually happening.
After a pause God spoke again.
“Me, me, me, me” that's all what mattered for you?”
“You were born, you had to die like trillions of others, why so much self importance?”
This time I gave a reply.
“But God this was my life, I had an individual identity, I was ought to focus on myself”
God lifted a handful of sand from down.
As the sand slowly drifted away from his hand.
He smiled and said-
“If my hand is the whole universe, you are no more then a particle drifting away each second”
“Why do you think you were so relevant?”
He paused for a while, and said-
“Wait!”
He then showed me a glimpse of life continuing without me.
All my loved ones were living a normal life without me.
There were some new people and new things, only I was missing.
I cried seeing them again, but they were normal.
Everything I thought wouldn't run without me was functioning quite well.
Suddenly I started feeling like an outsider.
In that moment I lost all importance of my previous identity.
Finally God said-
“This time I will give you a tougher life and expect a better performance.”
And pushed me.
Suddenly I fell down miles in air and landed in a small space, between human organs, everything was dark, I felt like a seed.
For the next nine months I just rembered what God said and kept promising myself to lead the correct life this time.
And then one day, I was out, I could breathe again, I saw the lights, back in the world.
But I couldn't remember anything.
Except Me!
