The story begins on a sunday morning with the ususal prayers offered to the deities at home.When I had finished reading from one holy book my little one said now read this one and she handed me the Bhagwat Gita.She by my side I started from where I had left earlier.
I told her that lord krishna is telling Arjun in the battle field why he should fight against his brothers, cousins and Gurus.
This the most important part of Gita.
At night before finally retiring to bed I said this world is a stage.
A stage? By elder daughter inquired and I affirmed her telling the entire poem of Shakesphere where he calls this world a stage and all of us merely players each with his enrty and exist. Her anxiousness lead to telling her all the stages of life to which she responded with great thrill putting me here and there.Then came the lst stage with shans teeth, shans eyes, shans everything until he finally exits fro the world.
But what after that...I said your sister will tell what she read in bhagwat gita today...
the tender lips said the man after death is burnt his body finishes but the soul goes away into the air and seeks another body.Then comes back in the form of a new human.
NOW STATRS THE REAL QUEST...
I added the body and soul are two different identities.Te body is perishable but the soul is not.Its an opportunist changing body for some purpose.
So what do we learn form all this ?????
We all have to do two things in life, only two things...take care of the body and the soul.
For the ody we neeed material as material furnishes the requirements of the body.The body needs food to survive.There may be ample food but if the ody parts donot function properly then there will be no use of food, so the body needs proper maintanence through exercise.Last but not least the body needs to be protected from wind water and cols.So the ody needs a permanent shelter.Hence Indians are always desiring a house at first priority perhaps many donot realize this reason as its forgotten through age and time.
And for the soul we need to gain knowledge, soul gets its food from knowledge and speaks through knowledge.Jai shri krishna...
