I’ve only recently died. My body has been rested on the
funeral pyre. Very soon the pyre will be burnt. But what’s surprising is that I
am not in that body anymore. I am here somewhere up in the sky, starting an
unknown journey. What’s amazing is that my entire body is down on earth and I
am here – complete and on a journey. ...Meaning, I am definitely not the body.
Wealth, family and friends – everyone’s present below. And even among them,
none seem to be a part of me today. I have been fooled. I spent my entire life
worrying about my body. I went through so many difficulties for its pleasure
and pain. And these, friends, family and wealth whom I kept chasing around considering
them to be mine, were never mine at all. Running after them, I could not even
recognise myself. I couldn’t give myself any kind of joy or comfort. This human
life that I had got with great difficulty was all a waste. Anyway, I got fooled,
but you still stand a chance, recognise yourself and live for yourself. ...Or
else like me, you too will regret one day but it will be too late by then.
