THE END

(Short story - a  work of fiction)

You opened your eyes and discovered something - A peaceful place, white clouds all around; a glorious white light ubiquitously spread; all hazy; someone clad in white appeared from nowhere.



"You were on your way home and you died. And that's when you met me."

"What! Where am I? I don't understand....."

"You met a fatal accident, on your way home, a truck skid and then the car accident happened. They tried to save you, all in vain."

You exclaimed, "I....I died! Where is my wife? My children, are they fine? Who will take care of them? I want to see them."

"They all shall be fine soon. Your kids will remember you always. Your wife will cry, but secretly relieved. Nevertheless, your marriage wasn't working well."

"Oh. So what happens now, I will go to hell, heaven or something?"

"Neither. You will reincarnate."

"Reincarnate.! So, the Hindus were right."

"All religions are right my son."

"What's the point, then? I will start again as a baby, a blank slate. So all my experiences of this life shall vanish."

"Yes, you are nothing but a magnificent soul. You will be born as a Chinese girl to a farmer in 592 A.D."

"592 A.D., but that has already passed. You will send me to the past! What if I meet my future self then."

"Its only you who is born and dies again. You have reincarnated numerous times. In this universe there are just you and me. You are my child, and I, your father."

"Wait.. You  mean I everyone, and everyone else is me. I am Abraham Lincoln... I am Hitler... I am Akbar.. I am Mother Teresa.. the street side beggar, and I am.... I am Jesus.. Ram......and....."

"Now you get it, my child."

"Every time you victimized someone, you were victimizing yourself. Every act of kindness you've done, you've done to yourself. Every happy and sad moment ever experienced by any human was, or will be, experienced by you."

"You mean I am god."

"No, not now. You are a fetus, still growing, getting mature."

"I am sending you on your way now."

THE Radha-Krishna

This time I have an interesting spiritual post - a conversation between Radha-Krishna!

(This one's not my composition but an excerpt from the web. )

 



एक बार राधा जी ने कृष्ण से पूछा : "गुस्सा क्या है? "

Once Radha asked Krishna - "What is anger?"

बहुत खूबसूरत जवाब मिला : "किसी कि गलती कि सज़ा ख़ुद को देना!"

She received a beautiful answer : "To punish self for someone else's mistake."

............................................................................

राधा ने कृष्ण से पूछा - "दोस्त और प्यार में क्या फर्क है?"

Radha asked Krishna: "What is the difference between friend and beloved?"

कृष्ण हँस कर बोले - "प्यार सोना है और दोस्त हीरा. सोना टूट कर दोबारा बन सकता है मगर हीरा नहीं"

Krishna laughed and said - "Love is gold and friend is diamond. Gold, if broken, can be recreated, but diamond can't."

............................................................................

राधा जी ने कृष्ण से पूछा -"मैं कहाँ कहाँ हूँ?"

Radha ji asked Krishna  : "Where all do I exist?"
कृष्ण ने कहा - "तुम मेरे दिल में, साँस में, जिगर में, धड़कन में, तन में, मन में, हर जगह हो."

Krishna replied: " You are in my heart, breath, heartbeat, body, soul, everywhere."

............................................................................

फिर राधा जी ने पूछा -" मैं कहाँ नहीं हूँ?"

Then Radha asked Krishna - "Where do I not exist?"
कृष्णा ने कहा - "मेरी किस्मत में!"

Krishna said - "In my fate!"

............................................................................

राधा ने श्री कृष्णा से पूछा - "प्यार का असली मतलब क्या होता है?"

Radha asked Krishna -"What is the true meaning of love?
श्री कृष्णा ने हँस कर कहा - "जहाँ मतलब होता है, वहाँ प्यार ही कहाँ होता है"

Krishna said amusingly - "Where there is a meaning (reason), there is no love."

............................................................................

राधा ने कृष्णा से कहा - "आपने मुझसे प्रेम किया, मगर शादी रुक्मणि से की, ऐसा क्यूँ?"

Radha said Krishna - "You loved me. but married Rukmani, why so?

............................................................................
कृष्णा ने हँस कर कहा - "शादी में दो लोग चाहिए, शादी में दो शरीर और दो दिल चाहिए, और हम तो एक शरीर और एक जान है. तुम ही बताओ राधा और कृष्ण में दूसरा कौन है, हम तो पहले से ही एक है फिर हमे विवाह करने की क्या आवश्यकता."

Krishna laughed and said - "Marriage needs two people, two bodies and two hearts, but you and I are one body and one soul. Tell me, who is the second amongst us, we are already one then what is the need of a marriage?"

............................................................................

निस्वार्थ प्रेम विवाह के बंधन से अधिक महान और पवित्र होता है इसलिए राधा और कृष्णा निस्वार्थ प्रेम की प्रतिमूर्ति है और सदैव ही पुजनिय है.

Selfless love is greater and pious than an alliance, this is why Radha and Krishna are idol of love and are worshiped eternally.

This mesmerizing conversation derives some life lessons below-

• Stay away from anger. It hurts only you!


• If you are right then there is no need to get angry, and if you are wrong then you don't have any right to get angry.


• Patience with family is love, patience with others is respect. Patience with self is confidence and patience with GOD is faith.


• Never think hard about the PAST, it brings tears. Don't think more about the FUTURE, it brings fear.


• Live this Moment with a smile, it brings cheer.


• Every test in our life makes us bitter or better, every problem comes to make us or break us, the choice is ours whether we become victims or victorious.


• Beautiful things are not always good but good things are always beautiful.


• Happiness keeps you sweet. But being sweet brings happiness.
