Question

Does it depress you knowing that you will only get older, never younger??

Answer

For a pessimist... the decreasing age can definitely pose a problem... optimists never fear anything in life. Life is as it is! It is our soul atman within that is on its cosmic journey... a single span of life covering an earthly abode of . million years and a total of . million manifestations. Our body is simply a garment for the soul atman within to work out its karma. The moment the body serves its purpose... it decays and dies!brbrThe freed soul atman depending upon the residual balance of karma again manifests a life form. In the cosmic system... nothing ever dies! Only perceived from the senses point of view... the body dies... the family weeps bereaved! On the cosmic plane... it is a single long journey for the soul atman within.brbrThe journey for the soul atman starts by manifesting the form of an amoeba single cell formation... the first manifestation! Subsequently it evolves into multicell formation, insect life, plant life, animal life and finally the form of a human being! We get the human form after having passed a chain of . million manifestations.brbrWhy fear death... the unknown factor! When arrives the opportune moment... the body shall die! Life is meant to be lived happily. Why brood over factors unknown! Life and death is in the hands of God Almighty. The body... the human being is simply supposed to carry out the karma! brbrHave we ever observed a growing tree... initially a seed? When sown, it blooms a small tender plant and the journey finally culminates into a full grown tree. When comes the time for flowering... we find the tree blooming with flowers at its best. And subsequently the flowers give way to the fruit within. Finally the whole tree is full of juicy fruits.brbrAt what point of time must the tree feel depressed... the initial stage, the time of flowering or the stage when it bears ripe fruits. The tree had to perform its karma... it did so! Where lay the reason for repenting or depression? In the case of human beings... the story is the same!
