Live Life Till The End

Mulla Nazruddin once boarded a flight to Delhi and began walking inside the plane after the take-off. The air-hostess demanded to know what he was up to. Mulla replied, ‘I am walking at this rapid pace as I need to reach Delhi urgently’. Aghast at such ignorance, the air-hostess advised him that there is a definite transit time and one had to wait patiently at one’s seat, enjoy the refreshments, watch the entertainment shows on television until such time the flight reaches the destination.

You are journeying through life now, in the airplane of the body. Flow along with life’s experiences, eating idli, dosa or pongal, drinking coffee, tea, juice, dressing well, enjoying whatever life brings until such time the journey ends.

However much you hurry to reach the Lord Hari permanently, there is a given time frame for everything. This is how life is.

Realize that life is very short. So do not waste time worrying over petty pains or hunting for paltry pleasures. Resolve to make your life more purposeful from this moment at least.
