THE RETURN GIFT
|
|
On
that evening Ramu was
ambling down the street next to his house. Suddenly he saw a group of
people in white clothes, they were carrying a body. He asked a passer by
what's all the fuss about. He told him someone had
died. He had seen such a thing for the first time in his life. A current
of fear ran through his whole body .He was aghast and he trembled with
fear .His eyes were frozen and he was dumbstruck.
He ran towards his house
and hugged his mother tightly and narrated the whole incident to her and
asked her what death was to which she replied in plain words that it was a
natural phenomenon and every creature who comes on this earth has to die.
He said then what's the use of life if we have to die. She asked
him not to to worry so much and asked him to go to sleep.

The mystery was not
leaving him and even followed him in his dreams where he had a meeting
with God, obviously the only question he asked Why do you give us life if
you have to take it back?
God said my dear son what
happens when you go to a birthday party. He said that I give a gift to my
friend along with good wishes and blessings, we enjoy a lot and at the end
he gives a return gift and we accept it with thanks.

God smiled and replied
"Same is the case here my son, life is a gift which I give to you on
your birth along with my blessings and death is the return gift which I
take back from you so instead of worrying about the return gift enjoy and
utilize the gift which I have bestowed upon you and be ready to give me
the return gift with a thanks. |
Ramu felt relaxed and
rejuvenated with energy because he had understood the mystery of life
and death and from that day onwards he pledged not to waste even a single
moment of his precious life.
