It brings a smile on my face when I ponder over that question.
Imagine, when that question is posed to you!
Think about it, what is yours?
Land, Sky, Water, Fire, home, wife, husband, child, materials name it and nothing of these are ours.
I recently witnessed my Gran'Ma's funeral.
I watched her go through the pain. However, even on the last but one day, her memory was fresh about incidents as if they happend yesterday!
I was so marvelled at her memory that even in that pain she managed to tell me the story of our childhood.
When she passed away, we all 'fcourse mourned but at the same time were glad that she celebrated the cream of her life in everything.
Then this thought occured to my mind, "What was her's?" and the answer came out loud and clear Nothing!!! Not the house she left to her heir, not the garden she pruned everday, not the kitchen she worked the food for us and Not even the body for it gave up due to the age and was prone to illness.
Until this revealation struck me, I was always obsessed about many things in life (I am sure we all are) saying I did it, it is my stuff, he is mine, she is mine, me, mine, I !!! Phew its enormous...
But trust me this thought is absolutely flawless..Come on when I pass on from this life, what do I take with me? Money? Family? Posessions? Attachements? Nothing at all...
But practically speaking evrything comes to an end!
Then why do we worry about "This is right" "This is wrong". Let your right be so and the wrong be so why be stuck to it? Lets move on!
Coz when the real pain creeps in, it is me and only me who has to suffer through it and not my Pa, Ma or spouse or brothers...Everyone has to carry their own cross in their life.
It's the same rule for everyone and it is signed and sealed!!!
Therefore, when we are aware that nothing is ours why do we quarrel on so many things?
Not with others but a constant battle is fought within us!
Understanding it is the real beauty of life!
How true! Thats when we start to let go of things which we are stuck to in life!
All that we have and we can call our's is the Sleep!!!
Sleep, where we forget every bit of life and enter a world of peace and divine rest!!!
Now sleep I mean in all senses...
Sleep is peace, it is rest that nurtures the worn out mind and heart, sleep is the only one thing that is our's, for it helps us connect to ourself and rise up from the ashes to a different person altogether!
Everything comes to an end when we allow it to rest in ourself.
This is again a choice that you and I have to consciously make, it takes time but sure it will happen for everything that has a beginning has an end too, how it has to end and how we put it to rest is upto us.
How I wish that each one of us choose the appropriate way bring things to an end in our lives and enjoy that pleasant sleep each night and life!!!
Therefore, ask for PEACE from the Almighty and HE shall grant it to you!!!
