My funeral

              My funeral the last thing to happen in my life , a very important one but I will never be able to watch it . Can I plan for it ??? From my birth many  things in life are planed or at least  I am part of every thing may good or bad . It will be the end of the journey of a life time , end of emotion , avarice  , ego , anger , knowledge , relationship , wealth and every thing that I have today or earn in future .

                          " Nainam chindanti shastrani ,    Nainam dahti pawakah ,                            

                           Na chainam kledayantyapo  ,   Na shoshayati Maruthah "

            These are the lines that hindus believe means " Soul is indestructible. No weapon can pierce it. Fire cannot burn it. Air and wind cannot dry it out and water cannot wet it. You are soul, you are indestructible, recognize and know yourself " .

             It is interesting that in some country people invest in funeral fund , funeral savings . So that after their death their funeral function will be a good one with their money . Though in India we dont have that same things but have some similar mentality . A old man prefers to have a good fortune in his last time also , with a  hope  for cupidity of that wealth any of his children/ relative may bury him or take care of him when he becomes incapable .I think they need those investments as in their life time perhaps they were not able to save any thing in the relationship account .Many time it happens that with a good family life also people were abandoned by their close ones .

            In Kashi (Uttar Pradesh, India ) there were people gathering around the country only waiting death .They leave their home , close ones and every thing just for the search of a peaceful death . These lines may sound crazy to many , but its the truth . How can any one welcome death   with open arms is question that some time shakes my thought .

         Recently in my village when we thought of making a good structure for funeral rituals I made some financial contribution for it . Is that all I can do for my final journey ??

         Once we start think about our end journey in life and many definition   in life will change dramatically. Death is not the last resort , but if we start thinking about it then only we can calculate that how we wasted  life by doing many bad things . We will know the real value of time once we are able to access the time we got for remaining life . Death is a dark side of life but the thought about it can bring out the best  a person can have .
