What a match it has been so far. Indeed a very intriguing match being played at The Centurion park ground. Students in my hostel are cheering for every run being scored, elated for every four and intoxicated for every sixer. What a match. All are glued to the TV set in the common area. Yusuf's made the second fastest century in the Indian batting history. India still strugling at the looming danger of losing the match and the series. What hopes remains?
Just during this cheering a thought crossed my mind, what is happening?
For every run cheers and after the wicket fell gloom and later normal. Drawing a parallel to life with this match isnt this quite similar to our experience.
In your life you will get so many people and items which will be cheering you all through your life. Some of them will be just part of your life for few years or maybe months, but then what boils down is just one thing Nothing Remains. All this will be finished some day, then why do we need to be entangled to them? Why do we need them? People wont care who you were and what you did after you are gone. Then whats the use of being longing to these attachments, these things?
Then the answer dawned upon me, Indeed to make the path till your end a bit more pleasurable. Everyone will not give you company till your end, there will be few who will remain till your end. Life gives you the experience to be able to find those who care for you till end. Then why do need materialistic pleasure? Indeed it remains useless when you have the greatest treasure which you will relish till the end.
But continuing the thought, what will happen to your cherished few after you are gone? I am clueless at this thought. Help Me!!
